Patterns and Perceptions of Smartphone Use Among Academic Neurologists in the United States: Questionnaire Survey

Abstract

Smartphones are used frequently and are subjectively perceived to be highly useful by academic neurologists. Trainees tended to use their devices more frequently than attendings. Our results suggest specific avenues for future technological development to improve smartphone use for patient care-related activities. They also suggest an unmet need for education on effectively using smartphone technology for clinical care.
