Abstract
Methods and systems for dynamically providing users with appointment reminders are described. An example computer-implemented method of adaptively alerting a user regarding an appointment start time includes identifying a start time of an appointment at which a device is to be present and identifying a first location of the device. The method includes calculating an estimated travel time between the first location at which the device is located and a second location at which the appointment is to be held, and alerting a user of the upcoming appointment based on the estimated travel time and a difference between a current time and the start time of the appointment.
