The document summarizes survey data from the Pew Internet Project on mobile internet and health information usage in the United States. It finds that 6 in 10 adults go online wirelessly, 85% have cell phones, and 1 in 4 use apps on their phones. Younger adults and minorities are more likely to use their mobile devices for political activities and looking up health information. The online health conversation is driven by trends around mobility and peer-to-peer sharing of medical diagnoses. All of Pew's research is available for free on their website.

- 48% of wireless users look online for information about doctors or other health professionals, compared with 31% of internet users who do not have mobile access.
- 9% of cell phone users have software applications or “apps” on their phones that help them track or manage their health. Some 15% of those ages 18-29 have such apps.
- More than a quarter of American adults – 26% – used their cell phones to learn about or participate in the 2010 mid-term election campaign. In a post-election nationwide survey of adults, the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project found that 82% of adults have cell phones. Of those cell owners, 71% use their phone for texting and 39% use the phone for accessing the internet. With that as context, the Pew Internet survey found that:14% of all American adults used their cell phones to tell others that they had voted.12% of adults used their cell phones to keep up with news about the election or politics. 10% of adults sent text messages relating to the election to friends, family members and others.6% of adults used their cells to let others know about conditions at their local voting stations on election day, including insights about delays, long lines, low turnout, or other issues. 4% of adults used their phones to monitor results of the election as they occurred. 3% of adults used their cells to shoot and share photos or videos related to the election.1% of adults used a cell-phone app that provided updates from a candidate or group about election news. 1% of adults contributed money by text message to a candidate or group connected to the election like a party or interest group. If a respondent said she or he had done any of those activities in the last campaign season, we counted that person in this 26% cohort. Throughout this report we call this group “mobile political users” or the “mobile political population.”
