  • Physicians are still struggling with electronic medical record adoption.
  • Physicians are not accustomed to involving patients in healthcare in the participatory format that medical apps provide.
  • Compared to other products and devices currently available and soon to be released in the medical world, apps do not represent sophisticated technology.
  • Physicians are skeptical that mobile health apps will be effective tools in improving patient care.
