In the Informatics and Nursing textbook, we have mentioned PEW reports on the use of technology several times. A new 2012 report provides insight on the use of mobile apps for health information. You can review the summary of the report or download the entire report at http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Mobile-Health.aspx
In brief - 3,014 English and Spanish speaking people in the United States participated in the study. Interviews were conducted using cell phones and land line phones. Of the participants, 85% owned a cell phone and 53% of the cell phones were smart phones. Health information was accessed by 53% of smartphone owners and 5% of non-smartphone owners.
Those statistics are amazing! It means that cell phones are empowering healthcare consumers. The challenge that remains is to assist healthcare consumers to scrutinize the validity of websites that they are accessing.
