That\u2019s up from 58% in early 2014. The survey data also confirms that smartphone ownership is still higher among younger adults as well as those with higher income and education levels.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/PI_2015-04-01_smartphones_03.png\" alt=\"PI_2015-04-01_smartphones_03\" width=\"258\" height=\"400\" \/>Of all the uses Pew asked respondents in its survey, looking up health information about a particular condition was the most common thing smartphone owners did with their devices in the past year. The survey showed that 62% of smartphone owners had used their phone in the past year to look up information about a health condition. This is particularly interesting, especially when thinking about the best technologies to leverage in a community or employer wellness program. Americans are increasing their adoption of smartphones and already utilize it for health and wellness more than any other specific use case.<br \/>\nPew\u2019s recent report is based on a number of surveys, including a telephone survey of more than 2,000 people conducted last December and a web and mail survey of more than 3,000 people conducted in October 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report: 64% Of U.S. Adults Own A Smart
