Monitoring Health Tech -- Launching Boomer Health Tech Watch 2014
Port St Lucie, FL (PRWEB) March 24, 2014 -- "Boomers have three quarters of the wealth in the United States – yet consumer health start-ups are populated with and focus on young adults. Now that more than 56% of adults have smart phones and/or tablets – it’s time to focus investor and entrepreneur attention on the baby boomer population,” said Orlov. “Boomer Health Tech Watch is intended to highlight the importance and value this cohort brings to the so-called Digital Health ecosystem.”
Boomer Health Tech Watch will feature blog posts, news articles, marketplace press releases and trend reports that are relevant to all businesses concerned with innovation, both outside established traditional healthcare as well as the initiatives by providers to meet the needs of this interested and high-value cohort.
