More Than Half of U.S. Seniors Would Use Telehealth, Survey Finds

A recent American Well survey found 52 percent of more than 2,000 Americans older than 65 are willing to use telehealth services, reports Becker's Hospital Review . The primary factors behind their interest in telehealth include faster service, time savings, financial savings, and greater provider access. Eighty-four percent of those willing to use telehealth said they would use it for prescription renewals, and 67 percent said they would apply it toward managing chronic illnesses.
