The survey polled 1,012 randomly selected U.S. adults between May 19 and May 21.
When asked what kinds of technology will likely have the biggest impact on people’s health in the next five years, respondents reported the following.
● Health and fitness wearables: 21 percent
● 3-D printing: 10 percent
● Virtual reality: 6 percent
● Augmented reality: 2 percent
● Voice-controlled devices: 4 percent
● Smart home devices 9 percent
● Artificial intelligence: 9 percent

Fourteen percent of respondents said that none of these will impact on people’s health in the next five years, and 3 percent selected the “other” option.
