Health Technologies That Interest Millennials, January 2015 [CHART]

Tech-savvy Millennials are set to reshape health management, based on a January 2015 study by Harris Poll for Salesforce.com, which found that US 18- to 34-year-olds wanted to use various digital methods throughout the healthcare experience.
