This study examined the feasibility of using a smartphone application recall/reminder system for immunizations given in pediatric primary care.
The study used a typical descriptive study design. A convenience sample of parents and caregivers was recruited from a primary care pediatric office in a middle-class suburban area. Participants used an Android smartphone application ("Call the Shots") that served as a reminder/recall system for vaccinations and offered an embedded tool kit to obtain reliable information about vaccines.
A total of 262 persons accessed the application's Web site. The application was downloaded and used by 45 of those persons during the study; six persons completed the survey.
Data are insufficient to fully evaluate the usefulness of the "Call the Shots" smartphone application. However, initial results and feedback have been positive, and the application should be launched in Apple's platform to reach a wider test audience.
本研究探讨了在儿科初级保健中使用智能手机应用程序召回/提醒系统进行免疫接种的可行性。
本研究采用典型的描述性研究设计。从一个中产阶级郊区的初级保健儿科诊所招募了便利样本的家长和照顾者。参与者使用一款安卓智能手机应用程序（“Call the Shots”），该程序作为疫苗接种的提醒/召回系统，并提供一个嵌入式工具包以获取有关疫苗的可靠信息。
共有262人访问了该应用程序的网站。在研究期间，其中45人下载并使用了该应用程序；6人完成了调查。
数据不足以全面评估“Call the Shots”智能手机应用程序的实用性。然而，初步结果和反馈是积极的，该应用程序应在苹果平台上推出，以覆盖更广泛的测试受众。
