“Every day, people look for ways to manage their health care. Mobile applications provide a convenient and easy way to access health-related information,” said Pam Walrod, Marketing and Community Relations, Placentia-Linda Hospital. “We’re excited to offer this emerging technology to members of the community.”
A survey from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project reported that 17 percent of cell-phone owners have used their phone to look up health information, with young adults aged 18-29 (29 percent) and Hispanics (25 percent) as the top users. In addition, a research2guidance report estimates that 1.4 billion people worldwide will have smartphones by 2015, and one in three people will have a health-related application on their phones.
