Experience was the most important determining factor, with 82% of physicians with less than 3 years practice experience using mobile apps, 78% of physicians with 3 to 10 years, 60% of physicians with 11 to 20 years, and 58% of physicians with greater than 20 years experience (p=0.045). Physicians reported using mobile applications to manage stroke risk factors 25% (95% CI 16%, 35%) of the time, while 77% (95% CI 68%, 86%) expressed interest in new apps to help their patients manage these risks.
