Abstract
In an approach for managing appointments a computer receives a request for an appointment from a user. The computer identifies a history data for a type of appointment, wherein the history data provides information regarding one or more prior appointments associated with the user. The computer receives IoT data prior to the scheduled appointment associated with the user. The computer determines one or more available appointments within a schedule based on the received request, the identified history data, and the received IoT data. The computer schedules an appointment based on one of the one or more determined available appointments.
