What’s in your pocket?
We would like to thank you for taking the time and answering our survey about the type of mobile device you use to seek and retrieve clinical information. Preliminary results indicate a majority of both iPhones and iPads (over 75%) and although these results hint that iOS may be the favoured mobile platform, Android devices are certainly gaining terrain with 24% of you using this operating system.
If you did not get a chance to complete the survey, you can still do so by clicking here. Thank you.
