As of 2023, 76 percent of respondents surveyed in the United States would want to share their wearable device's data by opening the app in the device and reviewing the health data with the doctor in person during an appointment. Another method just under three-quarters would be willing to carry out is answering questions about health data while completing intake paperwork before an appointment. Less preferred methods included automatic data sharing and sending screenshots of health data to the doctor.
