Health gadgets cut doctor visits for one in three Brits Erik Lorentz, head of communications at PriceSpy.co.uk said: "It's surprising to see that so many people are using health gadgets to improve their fitness and well-being, but also to avoid a trip to the doctor. The findings could have major implications for NHS spend and waiting times, particularly if the technology behind health gadgets continues to evolve. Glaswegians were found to be the biggest spenders in this area with a third of respondents from the city admitting to having spent more than £100 on health gadgets. A fifth of people from London, Manchester and Edinburgh said the same. Half of those asked owned two or more health gadgets, with pedometers most commonly found in homes followed by Wii Fit and heart monitors, the research found.
