Smartphones are quickly becoming a nearly ubiquitous technology. In 2009, approximately 64 percent of physicians in the U.S. owned smartphones [1]. Just 1 year later, a separate investigation put smartphone ownership among health care professionals in the U.S. at 81 percent, growing to 91 percent in 2012. Smartphone ownership among European health care professionals grew at an even faster rate, from a lower initial penetration of 44 percent in 2010 to 81 percent by 2012 [2].
