3. • J.D. Power reached out to hundreds-of-thousands of health consumers to determine
if they have used Telehealth in the last 12-months and we collected approximately
8,570 responses.
• But…in designing the study, I thought, “Why don’t I also ask those health consumers
that have never used Telehealth, ‘Why?’ and ‘What are the characteristics that would
increase your likelihood to use/try Telehealth in the future?’”
• The following findings will be published, with significantly more detail, on November
5th with the Telehealth Satisfaction Study. Non-user n=3,246
4. Only 9.6% of Health Consumers have used Telehealth in the past 12 months
