WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Manhattan Research has released the results of the 2012 edition of its Taking the Pulse® U.S. study, which focuses on understanding technology adoption and use among U.S. practicing physicians. The study ranks QuantiaMD as a top professional website with 28% of physicians visiting in the past three months, positioning it between the New England Journal of Medicine and the American Medical Association sites.
QuantiaMD is a free online community where practicing physicians share practical medicine. Today’s physicians are overloaded and struggling to stay ahead, and QuantiaMD helps them by providing timely and relevant educational content from a faculty of over 500 experts from every major academic institution. QuantiaMD’s ranking can be attributed to its unique format, which consists of thousands of short, interactive presentations, as well as its community and collaboration features, such as in-depth physician profiles and the ability to connect and consult via private discussions.
The Manhattan Research study also ranked QuantiaMD in the top four for professional apps accessed by tablets. QuantiaMD’s own data show that one-third of its members use a mobile device to access its content. Other key study findings include:
- Half of all physicians who participate in professional social networks use QuantiaMD
- 75% of physicians who visit QuantiaMD do so weekly
- 25% of physicians who visit QuantiaMD log on daily
- The company ranks fourth for websites for watching videos for medical or clinical purposes
“Knowledge is no longer synonymous with reading from books,” said Naveen Rajpurohit, MD, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO. “Concise, interactive cases and presentations, such as those found on QuantiaMD, along with the ability to connect in new ways with colleagues, are changing the way we learn and practice medicine. I can confidently say that QuantiaMD has heralded a new revolution in the way we learn medicine.”
“We believe that by bringing physicians together, they will have a profound and far reaching impact on medicine; this is our focus,” said Eric Schultz, Chairman and CEO of QuantiaMD. “We are honored to be positioned alongside such venerable organizations as NEJM and the AMA and we are thrilled that physicians have ranked us so highly in this study, confirming their view of QuantiaMD as an indispensible professional asset.”
