• Communication: 1 in 5 report using online messaging to chat with their doctor, but 47% report wanting to be able to do it more. Nearly 40% say they want to video chat with their physician, while 12% report currently doing so. 
• Treatment: About two-thirds want technology to play a bigger role in sharing real-time information with their physician to aid in making diagnoses and treatment decisions. 
• Use of technology: 56% of respondents monitor their health with at least one digital tool, and these users were also more likely to regularly see a physician, exercise regularly, and get screened for high-risk conditions.
