Examining Disparities in Ownership and Use of Digital Health Technology Between Rural and Urban Adults in the US: An Analysis of the 2019 Health Information National Trends Survey.

Background: Although research shows that digital health tools (DHT) are increasingly integrated with healthcare in the United States, very few studies have investigated the rural-urban differences in DHT adoption at the national level. Individuals in rural communities experience disproportionately greater rates of chronic diseases and face unique challenges in accessing health care. Studies have shown that digital technology can improve access and support rural health by overcoming geographic barriers to care.
