How do you feel about mobile apps?

 

I recently heard about a study in the United Kingdom in which residents reported feeling uncomfortable using a medical mobile app in front of senior physicians and patients. Despite finding the app helpful, residents were worried about appearing unprofessional.
 

Is there a stigma towards the usage of apps?I don’t think there should be any shame in consulting a helpful tool. This week’s edition ofMedical Staff Leader Insider features two stories about the growing use of mobile medical apps and devices for healthcare purposes so I can’t be alone in my thinking, right?
