The popularity of smartphones, wearable gadgets and apps that can measure and record exercise levels, heart rate and calories burned, proves that many people are prepared to pay for technology that may benefit their health, says Steven Dodsworth, chief executive of digital healthcare consultancy D Health.
"Rather than producing expensive devices that are used in hospitals, we need technology products that people want, value and can afford," he says.
"They should be sold in consumer electronics shops, High Street pharmacies and supermarkets."
