The survey, conducted in April 2013 by private research firm Ipsos, included physicians in the fields of primary care, family medicine and internal medicine.
While over half of physicians use both smartphones and tablets in their daily practice, eight in ten use smartphones and six in ten use tablets. The most common use of tablets and smartphones after accessing drug information is accessing medical research; 43 percent for smartphones and 63 percent for tablets. In addition, mobile apps are being used by 24 percent of physicians, making this the top digital/social media channel used for work purposes.
