Among the respondents, 87.3% had ready access to smart phones. E\u2010mail was chosen by 62.1% as the currently preferred method when contacted by the blood center, followed by texting (10.1%). App features desired by most respondents were the abilities to request appointments 24\/7 (76.8%) and to receive appointment confirmations quickly (81.3%). Many were concerned about receiving too many alerts or messages (64.1%) or insufficient protection for personal information (53.5%). Overall, 67.7% of respondents indicated that they were likely to use a blood donation mobile app. Likelihood was not significantly different by sex or ethnicity, and the impact of education level was limited. Donors who currently made donation appointments via telephone or a website were equally likely to use such an app. However, donors older than 45 years were less likely than younger donors (p\u2009=\u20090.001), and donors with more than five lifetime donations were more likely than less frequent donors to use such an app (p\u2009=\u20090.02).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>In a metropolitan area, donors are very receptive to using a mobile app to manage their donations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.13387","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,7]],"date-time":"2015-11-07T07:16:18Z","timestamp":1446880578000},"page":"614-621","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Blood donation mobile applications: are donors ready?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Shan","family":"Yuan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Transfusion Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine City of Hope National Medical Center Duarte California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shelley","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Transfusion Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine UCLA School of Medicine Los Angeles California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kasie","family":"Uyeno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Transfusion Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine City of Hope National Medical Center Duarte California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gay","family":"Almquist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Transfusion Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine City of Hope National Medical Center Duarte California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shirong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Transfusion Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine City of Hope National Medical Center Duarte California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/tmrv.2002.31461"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000313949"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2010.02882.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2011.03071.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2006.00757.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2011.03174.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2009.02501.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.12767"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transci.2015.02.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","unstructured":"The U.S. mobile app report whitepaper [Internet].
