Three-fourths of physicians use more than one mobile device for work, a new study shows. One in five doctors’ mobile devices are at high risk of attack, according to a new study.
Medical professionals have become savvy tech users: 99% of doctors use mobile devices as of 2015 and the number of doctors using more than one type of mobile device increased from 28% in 2013 to nearly three-fourths (74%) in 2015.
