iPads Are Doctor Approved

Well this is interesting because thanks to an infographic, we have discovered that apparently 4 out of 5 doctors find the iPad to be an invaluable tool due to the medical apps that can be found in the App Store. Not only that but a staggering 57% are interested in seeing doctors become more mobile and make use of these apps for real time help and providing information.

I guess the iPad does help to add some visualization to the entire proceedings, charts can be called up quickly and patients can view it on the iPads too, doctors could recommend certain medical apps that might aid in helping patients in their recoveries and what not. Good question though, would you be more inclined to buy an iPad because doctors are involved? Does a professional using an iPad somehow appeal to you, so perhaps instead of looking at the iPad as an entertainment device it could instead be seen as a professional tool?
