Abstract
This pre-pilot planning and assessment discusses preliminary research that targeted older adults’ preferences for scheduling a doctor's appointment. Fifty total respondents between the ages of 21-61+ completed a twelve-question Qualtrics survey; twenty-one participants’ responses were analyzed. Results showed no correlation between participants who used a smartphone and their preference for scheduling an appointment via a mobile application. This assessment suggests additional research is necessary to determine if information design could influence older adults’ preference for scheduling a doctor's appointment using a mHealth app.
