I am certinly not a medical PDA expert nor a Google registed expert,
but let me show you what I have found.

It is difficult to locate a link that outlines the specific market
share of each specialist, but there are several links that demonstrate
the TASK that the PDA is used for.  You could associate the task with
the specialization. Just an idea.

Good luck.
