Techcrunch has reported on a survey which suggests that just over a quarter of all doctors in the EU — primary care and specialist — use an iPad for professional purposes.
It goes on to state; “That’s a big number for a device primarily aimed at content consumption and not hardened against a hospital environment.”
The article can be found here and comes with the warning that the survey was probably done less scientifically than most clinicians would recognise-for instance, it was done online, which might skew the results ever so slightly- but it’s an interesting thought nevertheless.
What’s more interesting, for us at least, is that as a European online medical devices new resource we’re seeing massive and sustained growth in our readership, so maybe the mooted 25% of the medical fraternity are gradually finding their way to our witty and informative daily editorial.
