#LIVINGBETTER A research study from Klick Health, Google and the Digital Health Coalition, examining how digital technologies are influencing chronic care patients
KLICK HEALTH / PROPRIETARY + CONFIDENTIAL // LIVINGBETTER
Telephone Results 74% of phone respondents use the internet, which we know is low compared to US average of 87%*. Of those who do use the internet, however, their behaviors look very similar to the online sample. Devices owned tend to be less common for this group, and this reinforces that the group is older and (likely) less affluent than the online contingent. For example, 39% of telephone respondents was in the 65+ age bracket, as compared to only 13.9% of the US population in general. This represents a 2.8x over-representation for this age bracket that uses the internet less. Telephone Respondents Behave the Same Once we get past the barrier of internet use, the phone respondents look similar to the online respondents in terms of activities.
Survey Data Collection We wanted to ensure we had a representative reflection of the US diabetes patient population for our survey, so we decided to do some phone interviews to enhance the online data. The reality in the market today is that many citizens no longer respond to telephone surveys and this makes it difficult to acquire meaningful data from the channel. The online channels, which were once accused of bias, are now the more representative.

Number of Screens Interestingly, the different usage segments all have similar numbers of screens. Technology ownership is not a strong predictor of diabetes engagement:
Online Obviously everyone who answered the survey online had internet access. Only 74% of the telephone respondents had internet access and this was because the group that answers phone surveys skews much older than the general population.

Mobile users are not exclusive, the PC is the ubiquitous device for all users and mobile usage increases for the more active users. This means that the users most likely to be looking at your information are looking at it on multiple different screens.

One of our goals for this research was to find out if there is a correlation between digital usage and health outcomes. What we found was a complex story. The most digitally engaged users said their health was on the higher end of the spectrum; 70% were good or better. This did not extend to the users who use digital sources for diabetes monthly or less often. When measured against ER visits, the more digitally engaged users were actually MORE likely to go. A full 43% of these patients had been to an ER in the past 6 months.

IS THERE A CORRELATION?
KLICK HEALTH / PROPRIETARY + CONFIDENTIAL // LIVINGBETTER
We feel that what we’re seeing here is that digital is a lagging indicator rather than a driver. Patients are experiencing issues, disease complications, and are finding the disease impacts their lives, then this causes them to engage more digitally.
ANALYSIS
This digital engagement is in response to disease issues, and reflects the patients’ need to turn to online information sources for relief.

We see a blurring of the traditional demographic patterns. Both Social and Mobile Over-index up to age 45-54. These respondents over-index on age groups up to 45-54. Interestingly, social use sees more uptake in the older age groups than mobile use.

Social Media When asked about their use of social media specifically for their condition, the diabetes population over-indexes compared to the US population in general. The difference was most visible on Forums where 38% of diabetes patients engage compared to 20% of the general population.

SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
KLICK HEALTH / PROPRIETARY + CONFIDENTIAL // LIVINGBETTER 18
We find that the more engaged respondents were digitally, the more likely they were to be engaged in real life. There is likely a strong feedback loop here:
• Worry about the disease causes the respondent to search online more
• Finding more condition information online provides both the impetus and the knowledge needed for behavior change
• The goal of behavior change also causes the respondent to look to their healthcare providers for better treatments

Telemedicine Can’t Come Fast Enough Of mobile engaged users, 75% want to use their devices to interact with their doctors This technology has been slow to gain traction as reimbursement plans failed to allow for it Now, however, two forces are moving doctors toward accepting telemedicine connections: 1. Insurance plans are reimbursing the
activity 2. The industry is moving towards payment
for outcomes rather than payment for activities, this will incent telemedicine, as it is more efficient than traditional visits
