It's tough to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-changing healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. Things are changing faster than ever and keeping up is hard. Healthcare providers must find new ways to offer patients the best possible care. Still, it's not always clear what that looks like, particularly regarding digital health.
For example, this report reveals that more than six million people in the UK are turning to a new generation of influencers on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for help with chronic conditions or more general healthcare information. In the US, it's nearly 60m. 33% of GenZ and 26% of millennials (compared to 5% of Baby Boomers) will use social media to discuss illness. Across generations, virtual healthcare use is increasingly widespread, with 52% of adults having used at least one virtual health tool and/or channel multiple times.
