Eighty-one percent of those who do not have BYOD policy in place reported that it’s primarily due to the importance of health data security, Spok found. Furthermore, 62 percent of those with a BYOD policy said health data security is the biggest challenge when it comes to effective personal device use.

Parks Associates also showed that 41 percent of consumers are worried about health data privacy and security with smartphones, while 42 percent of those surveyed have concerns with tablets.
