Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

Mobile devices, such as tablets and smart phones, are having a tremendous impact on health care. While many health-related apps are commercially available, few incorporate features that facilitate the delivery of physical rehabilitation services. Programs specifically designed for mobile devices can provide client information, education and training in an engaging format, with the capacity for clinicians to monitor progress and individualized and adapt the intervention. Potential applications and features will be discussed using the example of an existing tablet-based wheelchair mobility skills home program.
