| TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- From smartphones to smart speakers, consumers are searching with their voices. What exactly they are searching for when it comes to healthcare-related topics is explored in a new study from the market research team at Zion & Zion, a top-ranked, full-service national marketing agency. The full report is available here.

- The most popular healthcare voice queries are those pertaining to symptoms or treatments of an ailment, disease, or other health condition—posed by 65% of consumers who have used their voice to ask a question of their voice-enabled devices. 32% have used their voice to search for a doctor or specialist.
- The top reasons for not using voice-enabled devices to search for healthcare information are not having a need to do so (28%) and those who would rather type their question into a browser (26%).
