Increase proportion of adults who use information technology (IT) to track health care data or communicate with providers
Summary
People who use information technology (IT) to keep track of their health information and talk with health care providers are more likely to have better health. There are disparities in use of IT for health care by income, age, and sex. Strategies to educate people about the use of IT for health care and increase internet access may help reduce these disparities and increase the use of IT for health care overall.
