People check news on their phones 40 time per day and 91 per cent of mobile phone users have their phones on 24/7. Indeed, there are now more mobile phone connections than humans alive. But this doesn’t mean that mobile phones will take on the role of doctors, though they will inevitably become more widely used in diagnosis and treatment.
