How does this medical provider provide adequate senior's care or disability care? There are so many people who still have nothing but landlines. My mom has never had a cell phone, and she works for a hospital. This is just odd.

Is it that they want you to install an app?

It is a type of care that few seniors would pursue.

Maybe that made the provider feel they were justified in dropping edge case patients like me.

Make everyone schedule appointments with an app, and no more receptionists, I guess?

But yes, bottom like is they want me to install an app, and I don't have a personal smartphone by choice.

But even that doesn't make sense here. A web app is a perfectly realistic alternative to a mobile app, and they could still fire the receptionists. I have the MyChart app on my phone, for emergencies, but do all my communicating with the doctor's office via their website on my laptop at home. If I were a suspicious person, I'd think they want you to use the app so they can train their AI with your medical data (that's tied only to their app).
