New research reports from Parks Associates covering OTT services, home robotics, smart watches, and connected health provide in-depth analysis of industry trends and consumer research, forecasts, business model strategies and opportunities, and key recommendations for players within these key connected home topics.

Parks Associates research finds that the average U.S. broadband household owns approximately seven connected devices and that consumers will continue to buy connected devices to address more specialized needs, such as fitness services and multiscreen video consumption. The connected home industries will need to continue to innovate to drive interoperability, ease of use, and consumer engagement.
