| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @nixmcfarland: Hi. My first time on OT talk! Any piece of equipment, adaptation or tech that compensates for injury or illness.#otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @Helen_OTUK Nice definition! Thanks @Helen_OTUK #OTalk |
| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @carrie_sant #OTalk Being born to the digital generation, I immediately think of all things electronic, i.e. voice controlled devices, telecare etc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming In Aota conference, we now have a particular portion of the event where students and practitioners can learn about the latest high tech assistive devices and apps. #otalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @TashaLaming I wonder if Environmental Control teams are aware of this - Alexa could be considered a valuable tool to add to their offering. #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming Yes I think there is one coming up in February :) #OTalk |
 | Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 #OTalk I keep forgetting the 'OTalk but Hello Carrie and everyone I have seen your name Tash hello good to catch up .. and hopefully learn somethign about this assisted technology https://t.co/SisYyD2YSH |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @TashaLaming @nicola_stirling Next week if you free.... #OTalk https://t.co/Q1Bxwghtoo |
| Bethanyπ @BethjmOT @carrie_sant Devices which support a service user to maintain or improve their independence and safety. I have recently been looking at assistive technology for dementia patients for my assignment, e.g Medication reminders and sensors in the home #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RebeccaCrouch: @TashaLaming I wonder if Environmental Control teams are aware of this - Alexa could be considered a valuable tool to add to their offering. #OTalk |
| Lynne Merrett @ot_lynne @BillWongOT @AOTAInc #OTalk Helpful, thanks |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @HG1OT I talk about Alexa and other voice contol devices a lot with my service users. For people with a visual impairment they are a fantastic tool (once set up!) #OTalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling Great idea - sometimes we don't tap into what's out there enough simply because we don't know what's on offer #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LeoKellerOT: @carrie_sant #OTalk Being born to the digital generation, I immediately think of all things electronic, i.e. voice controlled devices, telecare etc |
| OT Nix π @thisisnix @OTalk_ #OTalk Q1. I think that Telecare is an amazing modern world achievement in utilising #AssistiveTech devices to help ppl with memory impairment π |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant Q2 β In what ways do you use assistive technology within your role to enable the independence or occupational engagement of your clients? #OTalk |
 | Shirley Pearce @shirleypearceot @carrie_sant @Helen_OTUK Hi Carrie #OTalk Lurking... |
| Sue Wheatley @sueWheatleyOT @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming I would like to see this put more on the agenda in a similar way in UK #OTalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @carrie_sant @HG1OT Yes I love mine.... Got most of the family set up with them! #OTalk |
 | Carolina C π³οΈβπ @colourful_ot @TashaLaming Examples like this are great - AT doesn't have to be specially designed to improve function, it can just be everyday technology used cleverly! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @TashaLaming @nicola_stirling Yes- that can serve as a portion of our CPD. So definitely is a nice incentive. #otalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming @RebeccaCrouch I was honestly amazed by what it could do #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT wow.. a great example of assistive technology #otalk https://t.co/83bEAal0f9 |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @nicola_stirling @OTalk_ these are the types of assistive tech I use daily too #otalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @TashaLaming @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling I totally agree, but that's why #OTalk is so valuable. We can share knowledge here & share our learnings with our colleagues in the workplace. |
| DeeGarrettGrimwood @GedgraveGirls RT @LeoKellerOT: @carrie_sant #OTalk Being born to the digital generation, I immediately think of all things electronic, i.e. voice controlled devices, telecare etc |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming @colourful_ot Exactly - creativity is the key! #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @carrie_sant I work with telecare on a daily basis! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @colourful_ot: @TashaLaming Examples like this are great - AT doesn't have to be specially designed to improve function, it can just be everyday technology used cleverly! #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @TashaLaming Environmental control can make a huge difference to someone with mobility issues or other physical health needs #OTalk |

| Lynne Merrett @ot_lynne @carrie_sant Mostly use of smartphone alerts and apps to assist memory or planning and organising. Some telecare services too #OTalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming RT @carrie_sant: @TashaLaming Environmental control can make a huge difference to someone with mobility issues or other physical health needs #OTalk |
| Sue Wheatley @sueWheatleyOT @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming @TheOTShow It is more focused on adaptive equipment in general #OTalk |
| Birger Destoop @B1rger @carrie_sant @HG1OT #OTalk What steps do you take or what do you take in consideration in comparing all the different personal assistants, |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @cathymc9781 @TEDTalks Talking to her at an AOTA conference will be one item on my professional bucket list. #otalk |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @RebeccaCrouch @TashaLaming I have come across another team specialising in assistive tech & environmental control but I think it can be tricky to implement within the NHS as a lot of the extra equipment required are mainstream devices and the tech changes all the time #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DavidCMars: @carrie_sant @OTalk For children with neurological conditions/limited movement to make choices and communicate #otalk |

 | tish @tis7ha RT @ot_lynne: @carrie_sant Mostly use of smartphone alerts and apps to assist memory or planning and organising. Some telecare services too #OTalk |
 | Nicola Bradley @nikkibradley88 @carrie_sant I love the idea of assistive technology but it seems so expensive and little training has been offered to what's available. Working in the Acute setting , we can only refer to telecare. #OTalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming RT @carrie_sant: @RebeccaCrouch @TashaLaming I have come across another team specialising in assistive tech & environmental control but I think it can be tricky to implement within the NHS as a lot of the extra equipment required are mainstream devices and the tech changes all the time #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @carrie_sant I use #telecare very often to keep people safe in their own homes.. bed/door/chair sensors to alert relatives if a patient has moved/potentially fallen #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @ot_lynne: @carrie_sant Mostly use of smartphone alerts and apps to assist memory or planning and organising. Some telecare services too #OTalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @sueWheatleyOT @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming There are lots of things going on... Maybe not specific to OT... Next week I am presenting at this one... https://t.co/Q1Bxwghtoo #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant I think it will be important to find out through doing the patientβs occupational profile... and then through building strong rapport with them in subsequent treatments. #otalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming RT @Helen_OTUK: @sueWheatleyOT @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming There are lots of things going on... Maybe not specific to OT... Next week I am presenting at this one... https://t.co/Q1Bxwghtoo #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @nikkibradley88 Sometimes it can be very expensive, especially specialist equipment but often I find there is a mainstream device which can be adapted to the purpose and is much more affordable #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Helen_OTUK: @sueWheatleyOT @BillWongOT @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming There are lots of things going on... Maybe not specific to OT... Next week I am presenting at this one... https://t.co/Q1Bxwghtoo #OTalk |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @ot_lynne What apps do you use? #OTalk |
| Shirley Pearce @shirleypearceot @carrie_sant I think this includes even the lowest of low-tech assistive devices. #OTalk |
| Nicola Stirling @nicola_stirling @OTalk_ I have supported many patients with complex needs assoc with cognitive impairment to return home and stay at home using AT #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @kerri_schOT Is that funded by your service or the patient and their family? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @carrie_sant In a few nursing homes I work with, patients with dementia will wear a special tracking device on their ankles... where the alarm will turn on when they are close to the facilityβs exits. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @shirleypearceot: @carrie_sant I think this includes even the lowest of low-tech assistive devices. #OTalk |
| David Marson @DavidCMars Yes @BillWongOT so as not to get more focused on the technology instead of the person and their need/goals #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @nikkibradley88 Sometimes it can be very expensive, especially specialist equipment but often I find there is a mainstream device which can be adapted to the purpose and is much more affordable #OTalk |
 | Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @carrie_sant Iβm participating in the IC4Life programme with @CovUniOT next week, which involves working alongside international OT, engineering and design technology students to learn more about the collaboration of technology and healthcare! #otalk |
 | Orla @orlatheot @carrie_sant I've recently bought a Fitbit. Have OTs used similar tech to help client set goals and track their progress together? #otalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming @nicola_stirling @OTalk_ What kind of AT do you work with? #otalk |
| Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant My nan uses her amazon echo to help her remember her shopping lists, to get things out of the oven etc and to also keep in contact with the outside world #OTalk |
 | Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT Enjoying this eveningβs #OTalk - on placement in Older Adults community setting so have been introduced to certain assistive technologies over the last week. Great to be exploring it more tonight! #otstudent #lurking |
| Aideen O'Brien @AideenOBrienOT @OTalk_ Using reminders on smartphones with mental health patients in the community to remind them about medication. Mindfulness apps also hellp patients address anxiety independently Iβve also used the @KawaModel app with service users as an empowering exercise #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @carrie_sant we refer onto the council/social services for this, so itβs decided on a patient per patient basis depending on personal circumstances #otalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @nikkibradley88 @carrie_sant You can always sign post or refer to more specialist teams. I know Dementia UK has a great printable resource for families about assistive technology to support people with dementia. #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @BillWongOT: @kerri_schOT @carrie_sant In a few nursing homes I work with, patients with dementia will wear a special tracking device on their ankles... where the alarm will turn on when they are close to the facilityβs exits. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @Dai2584 Do you ever use apps such as mindfulness apps as part of the intervention/treatment process? #OTalk |
| Nicola Stirling @nicola_stirling @TashaLaming @Helen_OTUK @sueWheatleyOT @BillWongOT RCOT event 16th Feb, London, technology enabled care, look on their website, looks interesting #OTalk |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @TashaLaming I always get asked about that one! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AideenOBrienOT @OTalk_ @KawaModel I personally use notes on my phone to help me remember important passwords! #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/NRpioKmGeE |
| Aideen O'Brien @AideenOBrienOT @orlatheot @carrie_sant I used a pedometer with a service user so they could have a visual representation of the excercise theyβve been doing. They found it really good and motivating #OTalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming @orlatheot @carrie_sant No I haven't but I'd like to. Have heard ideas about how Fitbit etc could be used to help motivate people to increase mobility as well as monitor levels of frailty #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @BillWongOT @carrie_sant I think thatβs a good idea to stop people from wandering outside or to somewhere dangerous, but still allows people to have their freedom #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @B1rger @HG1OT I have done a lot of research into the features of the different devices but also rely a lot on the experiences of the people I work with to inform me as to which devices are more appropriate for different people #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @carrie_sant And I definitely use them to remind myself about parking at certain places I work! Donβt want to get stupid parking tickets... lol! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @B1rger @HG1OT There are no journal articles on this yet!! #OTalk |
| Lynne Merrett @ot_lynne @carrie_sant There are a number of "brain training" type apps available, it depends on the needs of my clients also have used relaxation and mindfulness apps #OTalk |
| Bethanyπ @BethjmOT @carrie_sant As a student, I have researched assistive technology and looked into this. At conferences, I have seen examples of assistive technology and been to CPD talks about the use of telecare #OTalk |

| Birger Destoop @B1rger @carrie_sant #OTalk How do you keep track of all the different kind of useful technologies? #needleinahaystack |
| Sue Wheatley @sueWheatleyOT @TashaLaming @orlatheot @carrie_sant There is a #Livinglab in Brighton that is exploring Fitbit etc #OTalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @orlatheot @carrie_sant Not sure about fitbits, although once upon a time pedometers where given to clients. As a cheaper alternative, if clients have smart phones, you could encourage then to download free step-tracking apps. #OTalk |
 | IamAnOT @IamAnOT_COVID19 Iβm taking part in tonightβs #otalk all about assistive technology.. use the hashtag #otalk to join in! π https://t.co/521e3s1U0c |

| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ I work in a Huntingtonβs disease service and weβve had really limited success with a lot of assistive technology, simply because of the movement disorder. Low tech works much better for us #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sueWheatleyOT @TashaLaming @celiabentleyOT Yes- like my parents for example... I wonβt give them the most fancy of gadgets. They need simple ones that are failure proof! #otalk |
| Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @TashaLaming @carrie_sant @Dai2584 Me too! Theyβve made it free for students if you pay for Spotify too. The presentation section on headspace really calmed me down before my CBOA #OTalk |

| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch This depends on the client group and the intervention.

| Birger Destoop @B1rger @carrie_sant #OTalk Yes! We often think to highly of tech. Sometimes think it is to complex and something will go teribly wrong if we make a mistake. If it is the best solution for our client we must try the tech and adjust along the way. |

| tish @tis7ha @carrie_sant Iβd also think in terms of clients using assistive technology on an individual level might be different to using it with you. This might be something that youβd be mindful of if itβs to be beneficial, if theyβre slightly apprehensive to use it. #OTalk |
| Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant @TashaLaming @Dai2584 Yeah itβs so good! Iβm paying Β£5 a month for both!!! #OTalk |

| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ For me, itβs about whether the individual can learn to use it, depending upon the complexity. The majority of mine are complex dementia or Huntingtonβs disease, so itβs really difficult to learn new skills #OTalk |
| Birger Destoop @B1rger @GedgraveGirls @carrie_sant #OTalk There are a lot of different databases. How do we combine them and keep them all up to date? Maybe generate an international AT database. #BigDreams #BigHopes |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant I would not recommend OTβs in 3rd world countries buy an app that is 100+ USD! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @kerri_schOT Do you have scope within your role to offer support in learning how to use a new piece of assistive tech? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @jessica_wOT Totally agree! Sometimes older adults can be more reluctant to learn new tech, especially if they are not generally familiar with technology. Mostly we get there in the end. Sometimes it just isn't the right thing for them. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ACHEESEOT: @carrie_sant I think with regards to smartphones/iPads etc not many of the elderly generation have them and donβt want to use them #OTalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming For me it's cost, accessibility and not being sure exactly what's out there. #otalk https://t.co/bmKvsfqZQx |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @B1rger We have a whole 'life hacks' section on our website which is very OT! #OTalk https://t.co/e3LsRN9PSx |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant I think sometimes clinical observation helps. Even elderly are not one size fit all with tech skills! #otalk |
 | MentalHealth Guy @mymntlhealth RT @thisisnix: @TashaLaming @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant @Dai2584 #OTalk I can recommend a similar app called @ThinkPacifica, itβs also fantastic for #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression management. I actually prefer it to headspace ...great design, and as #OTs we do love goal-setting opportunities! π€ππ |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @RebeccaCrouch @B1rger @mytherappy I have tried these services but I find they are often focused on certain disabilities or health needs e.g. diabetes and stroke. Very few (if any) for people with sight loss! #OTalk |
| Carolina C π³οΈβπ @colourful_ot @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant Generally true but at the same time I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of them learning - my grandmother's in her 70s and learned to use Facebook on an iPad to keep up with what me and my cousins are up to! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @B1rger We have a whole 'life hacks' section on our website which is very OT! #OTalk https://t.co/e3LsRN9PSx |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant @Dai2584 Out of interest, did the client go on to buy the HeadSpace app? #OTalk https://t.co/S3CTk4FNMj |
| David Marson @DavidCMars @carrie_sant Q5: Sometimes a barrier/challenge is just keeping up to date/ being trained in new technologies #otalk |
| Birger Destoop @B1rger @RebeccaCrouch @carrie_sant @mytherappy #OTalk Thx! Saved it to my @Pocket. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @B1rger: @GedgraveGirls @carrie_sant #OTalk There are a lot of different databases. How do we combine them and keep them all up to date? Maybe generate an international AT database. #BigDreams #BigHopes |
| Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @BillWongOT @carrie_sant Thatβs very true! My nan is 86 this year and is on level 350 on candy crush! #OTalk |
| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @carrie_sant #OTalk A barrier for me is not having AT just to trial. Few have the money to buy AT gadgets/products if they don't already know that they will be beneficial/haven't tried it. |
| Aideen O'Brien @AideenOBrienOT @carrie_sant Age can sometimes be a barrier. Older service users are apprehensive about using new technology, fear of the unknown/failure. Effective education and demonstration of the tech is one way of combatting this.#OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @B1rger @GedgraveGirls @carrie_sant See what @AOTAInc already has and build on it. We donβt need to reinvent wheel! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @B1rger @GedgraveGirls I saw a company trying to do something similar to this at the RCOT conference last year but havent seen anything since. Maybe it wasn't feasible? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ ***5 Minutes until the end of the chat*** Time flies when you are having fun... What are your final thoughts or take away messages from this evenings #OTalk https://t.co/TagPSwJ43Y |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant And one time a few years ago... I read about a blogger who is in his/her 90βs! #otalk |

| DeeGarrettGrimwood @GedgraveGirls @carrie_sant Understanding, knowledge of and Efficient User's Friendly Easy Read Manuals for knowing how to fix them, when they go wrong or the tech does not function because it is a not gadget user friendly for all ranges and competencies of us humans. IT can be very like this #OTalk |
| Birger Destoop @B1rger @carrie_sant #OTalk Great! Saved it to my @Pocket for further reading. |
| Bethanyπ @BethjmOT @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant Yes I agree! I met service users who didnβt want and knew they didnβt need technology/phones. Itβs great to let them know whatβs available though and able to give them a choice in the decision making #OTalk |
| David Marson @DavidCMars @carrie_sant @RebeccaCrouch @B1rger @mytherappy We could do with a children's version of @mytherappy for paediatric services! #otalk |
| Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @RebeccaCrouch @carrie_sant @Dai2584 Unfortunately I finished the placement before I could find out. However there is a 10 day free trial which she signed up for and I had made her aware of other methods of mindfulness through YouTube, I would love to find out myself! #OTalk |

 | Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch @carrie_sant Not having a database of available apps reviewed by therapists so when recommending you know itβs tried and tested especially when thereβs a cost involved. Weβre trying to put a bit of database together at work #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT @ACHEESEOT I have trained people in their 100's on smart devices. Age itself isn't the barrier, often I think it can be people's preconceptions of either technology or their own skills that are the biggest challenge #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant @ACHEESEOT And with my parents- they hate failures of any kind! #otalk |
| Bethanyπ @BethjmOT @carrie_sant Could be Funding/budgets of the service and therapists knowledge of the assistive technology, and their confidence of introducing this in practice #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @DavidCMars @RebeccaCrouch @B1rger @mytherappy You will have to start one ; ) I have a list of apps for children with a VI to get you started #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @carrie_sant A2- as a student Iβve seen increased use of tablets/phones/apps as they are more widely accessible now, and can be used by clients to engage in rehab for longer at home #OTalk |
| tish @tis7ha @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant Depending on where youβre working and who youβre working with you could maybe get a small group to learn together? #OTalk |
| Shirley Pearce @shirleypearceot @ACHEESEOT @carrie_sant My sister flatly refuses to have one! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ACHEESEOT @colourful_ot @carrie_sant That is why I donβt teach my parents Facebook or Twitter so much. It was one of my cousins who told them about my social media prowess... lol! #otalk |
| Tasha Laming @TashaLaming My final thought is that I'm really excited about the future of AT - but I'm also aware of its limitations. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk https://t.co/oCokJ8RJHU |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @LeoKellerOT We have partnerships with manufacturers so that we can have demonstration kit to show people and do initial basic training #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @carrie_sant A3- interactive use of tablets to demonstrate different area of OT to client for greater understanding. Also being able to monitor progress e.g word finding apps #OTalk |

| tish @tis7ha @carrie_sant @ACHEESEOT Definitely- in hope that it might be a bit more encouraging for people getting to grips with what theyβre using #OTalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @carrie_sant @B1rger @mytherappy Vision loss charities may have a list of apps they consider to be helpful, although again, I would recommend trying any app first before using it with a service user. #OTalk https://t.co/S3CTk4FNMj |
