| 4 Min Read

Physicians are optimistic about digital health innovation and its game-changing potential to benefit medicine, according to a new survey released today by the American Medical Association (AMA). While there is broad-based optimism, physicians tell the AMA there are “must-haves” that digital health tools need to turn their enthusiasm into adoption. 

The physician survey was conceived by AMA and conducted by Kantar TNS, one of the world’s largest research agencies, to investigate physician motivations, current usage and expectations for integrating digital health tools into their practices. The survey of 1,300 physicians was administered from July 7-18, and covers a broad range of digital health tools, including telemedicine and telehealth, mobile health, wearable, remote monitoring, mobile applications (apps), and others.
