520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Smartphone technology is ubiquitous throughout neurologic practices, and numerous apps relevant to a neurologist's clinical practice are now available. Data from other medical specialties suggest high utilization of smartphones in routine clinical care. However, the ways in which these devices are used by neurologists for patient care-related activities are not well defined.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Abstract CONCLUSIONS: Smartphones are used frequently and are subjectively perceived to be highly useful by academic neurologists. Trainees tended to use their devices more frequently than attendings. Our results suggest specific avenues for future technological development to improve smartphone use for patient care-related activities. They also suggest an unmet need for education on effectively using smartphone technology for clinical care. Copyright (c)William Zeiger, Scott DeBoer, John Probasco.

520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Abstract METHODS: We developed a 31-item electronic questionnaire to address these questions and invited neurology trainees and attendings of all residency programs based in the United States to participate. We summarized descriptive statistics for respondents and specifically compared responses between trainees and attending physicians.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to characterize current patterns of smartphone use and perceptions of the utility of smartphones for patient care-related activities among academic neurology trainees and attending physicians. We also seek to characterize areas of need for future app development.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Abstract RESULTS: We received 213 responses, including 112 trainee and 87 attending neurologist responses. Neurology trainees reported more frequent use of their smartphone for patient care-related activities than attending neurologists (several times per day: 84/112, 75.0% of trainees; 52/87, 59.8% of attendings; P=.03). The most frequently reported activities were internet use, calendar use, communication with other physicians, personal education, and health care-specific app use. Both groups also reported regular smartphone use for the physical examination, with trainees again reporting more frequent usage compared with attendings (more than once per week: 35/96, 36.5% of trainees; 8/58, 13.8% of attendings; P=.03). Respondents used their devices most commonly for the vision, cranial nerve, and language portions of the neurologic examination. The majority of respondents in both groups reported their smartphones as "very useful" or "essential" for the completion of patient care-related activities (81/108, 75.0% of trainees; 50/83, 60.2% of attendings; P=.12). Neurology trainees reported a greater likelihood of using their smartphones in the future than attending neurologists ("very likely": 73/102, 71.6% of trainees; 40/82, 48.8% of attendings; P=.005). The groups differed in their frequencies of device usage for specific patient care-related activities, with trainees reporting higher usage for most activities. Despite high levels of use, only 12 of 184 (6.5%) respondents reported ever having had any training on how to use their device for clinical care. Regarding future app development, respondents rated vision, language, mental status, and cranial nerve testing as potentially being the most useful to aid in the performance of the neurologic examination.
