Claim:
A computer-implemented method for providing blood collection information to a blood donor, said method comprising: displaying an icon on a display of a mobile device, the icon providing a graphical representation of the donor's donation progress toward a goal for blood component collection including an alphanumeric indication of the donor's donation progress based on an identification of the donor, the icon selectable by the donor to trigger an executable application via the display of the mobile device, the donor's donation progress toward the goal based on data for the donor provided from a donor database to the mobile device and dynamically updated for display based at least in part on tracking the donor's donation activity and without user interaction with the icon, the icon positioned with respect to the display of the mobile device so as not to interfere with other icons on the display while providing the alphanumeric indication of the donor's donation progress; providing access to additional blood donation information for the donor based on user selection of the executable application via the icon on the display of the mobile device to launch a detailed view of the donor's blood donation information associated with the executable application; and facilitating donor action with respect to the blood donation information in the detailed view via the mobile device.
