I’ve recently come across an amazing infographic dedicated to the use of mobiles/smartphones, video and social media by medical professionals. A few interesting snippets and questions I raised:

  • 81% of physicians are expected to own a smartphone by 2012
  • 73% search the web (only 73%?)
  • More physicians watch videos on WebMD than on Youtube?
  • 86% of physicians use Facebook (certainly not for professional but personal reasons)

What do you think of these and the rest of the data?
