In fact, 82 percent of physicians said they have discussed a health app or digital program with patients related to their diagnosis or treatment in the past 12 months, either because the physician brought it up or the patient asked about it.

In addition, 77 percent of physicians have recommended a health app or digital program to their patients, and 66 percent said that the app or digital program improved the treatment experience.
