More Information
Summary:Certain examples provide systems, methods, and apparatus to provide information regarding blood donation. Certain examples include a method for providing blood collection information to a donor. The method includes displaying a graphical representation of a donor's donation progress toward a goal for blood component collection to a donor via an executable application icon on a mobile device. The graphical representation is to provide a visual indication of the donor's donation progress toward a goal. The donor's donation progress toward the goal is based on data from a donation facility provided to the mobile device and is displayed via the graphical representation without the donor executing the application. The method includes facilitating access to additional blood donation information for the donor by executing the application via the graphical representation on the mobile device. The method includes facilitating donor action with respect to the blood donation information via the mobile device.
