Abstract

Introduction: Apps, in general, are an integral part of our daily lives. To investigate the current usage behaviour of trauma surgeons and radiologists regarding medical apps in clinical practice and to find out if and how the current range of medical apps can be improved, we surveyed trauma surgeons and radiologists in northern Germany. Material and Methods. An online questionnaire was sent to 100 trauma surgeons and 100 radiologists in northern Germany. Participants were asked about the frequency of their use of medical apps in clinical practice, which apps were used most often, how useful participants thought apps were, and in which area they would like to see improvements. The most frequently mentioned apps were finally analyzed.

Results: The survey study showed that 87.4% of the trauma surgeons and 67.4% of the radiologists use medical apps on a regular basis at work. It also revealed that trauma surgeons used medical apps much more often than radiologists and that young doctors were more likely to rely on medical apps than chief physicians. 80.0% of the participants would pay at least 5 euros for a medical app. Trauma surgeons see the greatest need for support in their daily work from medical apps in the area of treatment, while radiologists seek more support in the area of classification.

Conclusion: The study underscored the broad acceptance of medical apps in everyday clinical practice. As the physicians are willing to spend money and stated a general interest and need for further developments, there is high potential for the future. This trial is registered with DRKS00026766.

临床实践中的应用程序:德国北部创伤外科医生和放射科医生的使用行为。
简介:总的来说,应用程序是我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。为了调查目前创伤外科医生和放射科医生在临床实践中对医疗应用程序的使用行为,并找出是否以及如何改进当前的医疗应用程序范围,我们调查了德国北部的创伤外科医生和放射科医生。材料和方法。研究人员向德国北部的100名创伤外科医生和100名放射科医生发送了一份在线问卷。参与者被问及他们在临床实践中使用医疗应用程序的频率,哪些应用程序最常用,参与者认为应用程序有多有用,以及他们希望在哪些领域看到改进。最后分析了最常被提及的应用程序。结果:调查研究显示,87.4%的创伤外科医生和67.4%的放射科医生在工作中定期使用医疗app。研究还显示,创伤外科医生比放射科医生更频繁地使用医疗应用程序,年轻医生比主任医生更依赖医疗应用程序。80.0%的参与者会为医疗应用支付至少5欧元。创伤外科医生认为,在治疗领域,他们最需要医疗应用在日常工作中的支持,而放射科医生则在分类领域寻求更多的支持。结论:该研究强调了医疗应用程序在日常临床实践中的广泛接受。由于医生愿意花钱,并表示对进一步发展的普遍兴趣和需求,未来有很大的潜力。该试验注册号为DRKS00026766。

期刊介绍: The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
