One thing is certain: there is going to be far greater demand for healthcare in the US in the coming years.<br />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.<br />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.<br />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.<br />However, bright spots on the scene include increased use of telemedicine, wearable health trackers and monitors, and in-home voice assistants.
