Study: Docs need to promote mHealth apps mhealthnews.com

A new study indicates 70 percent of consumers use mobile apps every day to track physical activity and calorie intake – but only 40 percent share that information with their doctor. Privacy concerns and the need for a doctor's recommendation are the 2 factors hindering the use of mobile technologies to promote health and well being. Using a smartphone to track health and fitness is more important than using the phone for social networking (69 percent), shopping (68 percent), listening to music (60 percent) or even making/receiving phone calls (30 percent).
