DALLAS, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Research firm Parks Associates today announced the topics and early advisory board members for the seventh annual Connected Health Summit: Independent Living and Wellness, September 1-3 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Connected Health Summit, with early sponsorship from Alarm.com, Rapid Response Monitoring, and Sprosty Network, addresses consumer health and wellness solutions aimed at improving quality of life, with a focus on crossover opportunities among smart home solutions and independent living.

Recent research from Parks Associates finds one-third of consumers in US broadband households are interested in wearables monitoring their health, including 20% who are very interested. The executive conference examines smart home platforms, on-demand services, voice assistants, and wearables that empower consumers, caregivers, and providers with new insight into patient health. This presents a vast market opportunity for industry players with a footprint in the home willing to expand into the connected health space.
