The Visit Planner is an iOS iPad app that is both a research project and product pilot. The goal of this project was to determine if a visit planning tool for patients with chronic illness could result in a more productive doctor's visit and ultimately, in better health outcomes.
A preliminary group of study participants were selected to act as stakeholders, attending meetings and giving feedback on the study and tool design.
During the study, participants used the app to record their reason for the visit and any health concerns. This data, along with the physician notes were recorded and then studied.
