The Baby Boomer Generation As one of the largest generations in U.S. history, baby boomers are not your stereotypical senior citizens. Boomers today are more active and tech-savvy than aging generations before—you’ll find 78% of boomers online, with many referring to themselves as “heavy internet users.” When it comes to technology, baby boomers mostly look for: Technology that empowers them to age well at home. Finance apps to easily manage wealth and portfolios. Health and wellness tools to manage their medical needs. Not unlike Gen Z, Baby Boomers want to actively engage in their healthcare and the overall healthcare experience. One study found that competence in navigating the healthcare experience played a critical role in successful aging. Providers must be prepared to foster a transparent, communicative, and collaborative environment for their older patients.

However, after looking deeper into the data, I rejected this hypothesis. Back pain is a complex issue with many contributing factors, including age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and even the type of back problem. Check out my latest blog post for the stats 👀
