The results of the MioDottore survey on the health routine of Italians
According to the MioDottore survey, only 65% of Italians carry out regular check-ups and only 39% do it for prevention. These are significantly lower results than those recorded in 2019 when these percentages reached 94% and 54% respectively. It should be noted, however, that Italians become more technological in health management. In 2019, in fact, only 10% checked their state of well-being through device tech and only 8% used specialized apps.
According to the data of the MioDottore survey, however, today more than two thirds (69%) of Italians today use device tech and apps (67%) in relation to their health routinAnd. About 4 out of 10 respondents (40%) want to be always updated on their clinical picture and, using technology, they have the possibility of obtaining information at any time.
Another factor that emerges from the survey is the willingness of Italian patients to rely on technologies to simplify the relationship with doctors. In particular, over 1 in 3 Italians (35%) would choose online video consultations and almost a quarter (24%) would like to book medical examinations online.
