In 2008, I summarized Pew Internet’s health findings in 7 words of wisdom:<\/p>\n\n

Recruit doctors. Let e-patients lead. Go mobile.<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n

Four years later, I’m banging the same drum, but with even more data to back it up. The market for mobile-ready health information continues to grow, even as health apps are just simmering along (in terms of consumer adoption, anyway).<\/p>\n\n

Today’s report, “Mobile Health 2012<\/a>,” is the first of a series based on a survey fielded by the Pew Internet Project and the California HealthCare Foundation. Our plan is to release one report every four weeks (or so), so stayed tuned to pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/internet (and apologies to anyone whose email I don’t return since I’ll be spending more time in my writing cave).<\/p>\n\n

Here is a round-up of reactions I’ve seen to the new mobile health data — thanks to each one of the authors for taking the time to write about it:<\/p>\n\n

Pew: 19 percent of smartphone users have health apps<\/a>, by Jonah Comstock<\/p>\n\n

Three years of stagnant health app adoption<\/a>, by Brian Dolan<\/p>\n\n

Pew Research launch Mobile Health 2012<\/a>, by David Doherty<\/p>\n\n

How smart phones help me be a better doctor<\/a>, by Claire McCarthy, MD<\/p>\n\n

Pew survey finds mobile health adoption growing<\/a>, by Gus Sentementes<\/p>\n\n

I can’t wait to participate in all the conversations that will stem from this research. I learn from each person who reaches out with a reaction, whether it’s on Twitter, Facebook, by email, in a blog post, or a mainstream media article. If you have thoughts to share — or see an article I missed — please post in the comments on my blog\u00a0<\/a>or find me online!<\/p>\n\n
