Summary:
More than one-third of respondents to a Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll said they were "very" or "extremely" interested in using smartphones or tablets to ask their doctors questions, make appointments or get medical test results.
"Similar numbers of respondents were eager to use mobile phones and tablets for actual health-care services--such as monitoring blood pressure or blood sugar, or even getting a diagnosis," states the article on the survey. "Such phone and tablet apps are, however, either just getting off the ground or not yet on the market."
