People Diagnosed With Schizophrenia Use Digital Technology At Same Rate As General Population

About 90% of individuals with schizophrenia who responded to an online digital technology survey said they owned more than one digital device such as a personal computer, tablet, smartphone, mobile phone without applications or Internet, or a landline telephone. About 61% reported having two devices. About 54% had access to smartphones compared to 64% of all Americans. Many of those with digital devices said they used them to manage various facets of their illness.

These findings were reported in “Digital Technology Use Among Individuals with Schizophrenia: Results from a NAMI Survey" by Katrina Gay; John Torous, M.D.; Adam Joseph . . .
