The Digital Health Study of the AOK Nordost examined the acceptance of fitness apps and wearables and gained surprising insights.

How many people and, above all, which user groups actively use fitness trackers, health apps and wearables like the SmartWatch? The AOK Nordost asked itself so that the health insurance company can design its offers for electronic training support accordingly. And the results of the study created in cooperation with the University of Potsdam are very surprising.
