Broadband’s Growing Role In Connected Health Solutions

According to Parks Associates, about 80 percent of caregivers in U.S. broadband households spend more than an hour a day performing their care-giving tasks. And in recent research Parks did with AARP, indicators show that 117 million Americans will need care-giving assistance by 2020, either as care recipients or family caregivers.
