One thing is certain: there is going to be far greater demand for healthcare in the US in the coming years. That's because by 2030, every Baby Boomer will be age 65 or older, which means that 1 out of every 5 U.S. citizens will be of retirement age. According to Business Insider, the average life expectancy in the US was slightly less than 70 years old in 1968 but rose to almost 79 years old in 2016. The population in 1968 was just over 200 million, but reached 323 million by 2016, putting increased pressure on Social Security and public health services. However, bright spots on the scene include increased use of telemedicine, wearable health trackers and monitors, and in-home voice assistants.

Pulse oximeters measure the percentage of oxygen in the blood when clipped onto a fingertip. And according to HuffPost, they're becoming increasingly popular for home use. People are buying them to monitor a family member if he or she becomes seriously ill with COVID-19. Doctors praise the use of pulse oximeters because they can alert people who don’t realize they’re gravely ill to the fact that their body is struggling for oxygen. One of the biggest worries with COVID-19 is when someone doesn’t realize their oxygen levels have dropped because they don’t actually feel unwell. It's a phenomenon sometimes referred to as happy hypoxia or silent hypoxia. As a normal reading usually ranges from 95-100%, if your reading is under 95%, it's a red flag. Seek medical attention immediately.
