AARP: Interest in Telehealth Holds Steady Two Years Into Pandemic

According to a recent AARP report, nearly one in three adults (32 percent) age 50 or older are either extremely or very interested in telehealth services, for themselves or a loved one. The survey found greater interest in telehealth services among nonwhite populations, including 45 percent of Black, non-Hispanic respondents that were extremely or very interested, compared to 35 percent of Hispanic respondents and just 29 percent of white, non-Hispanic older adults. The report highlighted that telehealth is likely to continue to remain an important tool in the health care delivery tool kit.
