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. . 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.
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.
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.
一般来说，应用程序是我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。为了调查创伤外科医生和放射科医生在临床实践中使用医疗应用程序的当前行为，并了解当前医疗应用程序的范围是否以及如何能够得到改进，我们对德国北部的创伤外科医生和放射科医生进行了调查。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、最常使用的应用程序、参与者认为应用程序有多有用，以及他们希望在哪些方面看到改进。最后对最常被提及的应用程序进行了分析。
调查研究表明，87.4%的创伤外科医生和67.4%的放射科医生在工作中经常使用医疗应用程序。研究还表明，创伤外科医生使用医疗应用程序的频率比放射科医生高得多，而且年轻医生比主任医师更有可能依赖医疗应用程序。80.0%的参与者愿意为一款医疗应用程序支付至少5欧元。创伤外科医生认为在治疗领域的日常工作中最需要医疗应用程序的支持，而放射科医生则在分类领域寻求更多支持。
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度。由于医生愿意花钱，并表示对进一步发展普遍感兴趣和有需求，未来有很大的潜力。该试验已在DRKS00026766注册。
