According to our survey carried out with Argus de l’Assurance, 1 in 4 French people now has a connected object, and 45% of them say they are willing to regularly measure their physical activity. But how do the French really view connected health? What kind of connected objects do they have and what are their habits in terms of e-health?
Gone are the days when connected objects were gadgets with limited usefulness! More and more French people are becoming addicted to them!
In fact, year after year, household ownership of connected objects is rising at an ever-increasing rate. All of the sector specialists believe that this segment of the self-care market is set to really take off in the coming years. Our survey carried out with Argus de l'Assurance had similar findings. In fact, 16% of French people (and 24% of millennials) surveyed said they own a connected watch. 13% said they had bought a connected speaker, 5% connected scales, 3% other connected objects for measuring physical activity (collar, armband, etc.) and finally, 3% a connected object provided by their doctor (blood pressure monitor, etc.). The bottom line? 1 in 3 French people own at least one of these objects. No less! And the trend is not about to be reversed.
