At CES15, the big consumer electronics show in Las Vegas this week, a panel session hosted by Family Medicine for America's Health shared recent survey data collected from 94 physician members of the American Academy of Family Physicians. The group made clear that the survey findings were "not scientific" and only intended to get "a snapshot of members' experience and perceptions". Regardless, it's encouraging that more medical associations are starting to have these kinds of discussions with their members. Four in ten of the family physicians surveyed said they used consumer health apps at the point of care with their patients.
