Question 3: Finding #accessible apps for clients with #sensory impairments can be difficult #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GeekyOT hey there! I miss you! #otalk I will say I use the Twitter app most often... can spend up to a few hours a day... lol!

Question 3: It is frustrating when you think you’ve found the perfect app but it turns out there are hidden costs. You need to be careful before download! Have you been stung? #OTalk

@Zogtown @GeekyOT @Helen_OTUK Excellent topic! #OTalk

Hello everyone, really interested in this talk tonight as I feel I should be more app friendly at work #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Zogtown @GeekyOT @Helen_OTUK @OTalk_ We just had #wegohealthchat a couple hours ago. There's also a forum from there. There are advocates from different disabilities on the forum. I think it's worth checking out. #otalk

RT @ILCDevon: Question 1: Question 1: We use Orlo https://t.co/mj12EXDE8o to help us pre-schedule tweets and facebook posts for the week on social media, to raise awareness of gadgets and equipment available for professionals to use. That is pretty helpful! #OTalk

RT @ILCDevon: Question 1: Question 1: We quite often recommend the Jointly app https://t.co/GsGYMevwXn for #carers as it helps them to coordinate care! #OTalk

@GeekyOT and of course... conferences too! I think I still have an unofficial record with the sore thumb award. I tweeted 1800+ times at an RCOT conference one year. #otalk

@GeekyOT Absolutely! On some faster chats, I actually don't read everything. I just try to find the next discussion question and/or worthy replies to comment on. #otalk
Zoe mcinnes @Zogtown
@GeekyOT @Helen_OTUK @OTalk_ It was suggested by my supervisor actually, due to OT's in our area asking the UNI for advice on this area. I don't have much to contribute yet I'm sorry, becasue will be starting research this Christmas. Just thought I'd see what you all have to say :) #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@KirsteenOT Does the app ask if the patient is an amputee first? After all, that will not be applicable for these patients. #otalk

#OTalk increasingly I'm trading fb for twitter. Also use YouTube a lot - espec with the kids in the car and we use it as a jukebox to choose songs.
Independent Living Centre, Devon @ILCDevon
Question 3: We also worry about #security of apps / technology such as Hive when recommending their use to HCP’s or clients – they have such great potential though! #OTalk

We are rubbish at using apps at work. There seems to be so much governance around all things tech tho’ not sure why that needs to be the case #OTalk

@ILCDevon #otalk everyone has digital rights (digital rights are human rights..... Netflix did The Great Hack I think.... life changing perspective on what info you share digitally

I tried programming prompts into alexa to help my disorganised son get himself sorted in the morning. It went down v badly... He refused to enter his room and be bossed around by a computer. Maybe I should have got consent first... #otalk

@KirsteenOT It's UK only. Not available in USA. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Ditto we are in exactly the same position Rachel. #OTalk
Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo
@SayyTheOT @GeekyOT I can see useful application of these devices, but also a lack of understanding of the full landscape of the bigger picture of this tech, particularly around data/ human rights #otalk should there be a signed consent form from clients to say they are ok with using digital tech ?
deb_OT @dmay_ot
We have almost no useful apps on work phones but all my dissertation/final year uni notes are on onenote (inaccessible at work) and the team chats on WhatsApp so we all carry two phones... #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GeekyOT @Twitter I do it the old fashioned way. I just have a tab on my browser to make sure I tweet the appropriate questions. I know some people will be shocked by that. #otalk https://t.co/2gcFw2pVcL

I do say my new favorite trick in academia- I use random number generator to pick the items for my students' lab practicums. So running joke now amongst my students is- they are hoping that the random number generator god is nice to them! #otalk

@GeekyOT in my practice setting- it can be any of the following: 1. Understanding of English language (sometimes some apps are in English only) 2. I just found out today with the app mentioned... it's only regionally available. 3. Lack of experience in using technology #otalk
Zoe mcinnes @Zogtown
@BillWongOT @GeekyOT @Helen_OTUK @OTalk_ Fantastic, thank you @BillWongOT #OTALK
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I think I might actually be a barrier as I don’t feel familiar and confident enough to make suggestions/recommendations. Old people and technology according to my son 😂 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GeekyOT 4. No internet connection (some apps require them) 5. Cost of app (some apps cost a pretty penny) 6. app is not a just right challenge for patients. #otalk

@SayyTheOT @GeekyOT I think this is an emerging frontier for academia OT's. This can be a continuous project with PhD students. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EmmaRobinsonOT @preston_jenny I always do that with new apps that I might use for treatments. I need to think in my clients' shoes before using them in practice. #otalk

@GeorgiaVineOT @GeekyOT I think this is a conversation you need to be open with your placement educator in future placements ASAP... probably over email or phone before day 1. #otalk

@GeekyOT common one- apps crashing unexpectedly! #otalk

@GeekyOT #OTalk I think we can get so engrossed in the dominant cultures in the workplace that using IT to do things can seem a bit 'out there'. I have dyslexia and use text to speech software which i find really helpful once your colleges get used to you talking to the screen.

@GeekyOT @pd2ot @ForwardHealth_ That will be me if I have to use Chinese in a speech to text app. I hate it when a slight pronunciation mistake will have to make me do the search all over again. Can't imagine if I don't have the abilities to recognize Chinese characters... as that will be rubbish for me. #otalk

Question 4: We don’t use that many apps personally, but we are starting to clinically review apps that are recommended to us so we can promote appropriate ones to those in need. If anyone has any recommendations let us know! #OTalk

@GeekyOT I use a meditation app called Insight Timer. It tells you how many days in a row you have meditated, if you use the same course/ guide each time, but unfortunately if you like to chop and change like me it wont keep track of that #OTalk
Michelle Clay @MichelleClay_OT
@GeekyOT #otalk i love my meditation sleep app...helps me drift off after a busy day 😴 A few of my colleagues use various ones...essential for busy OT's 💚

@GeekyOT I will do a golf app... not only with GPS features to find out where you are, but also interactive on having coaching videos in case rubbish golfers like me need to know how to hit certain shots. I need a tutorial on how to hit out of knee high deep grass, for example. #otalk https://t.co/y7dOMqUto9

I need to get up to speed with apps #OTalk. That’s my CPD sorted for the next wee while👍
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GeekyOT For OT practitioners in practice, we need to somewhat keep up in the knowledge department, not only for ourselves, but also our future placement students. For app developers, we need to make sure our apps are usable as operating systems are updating. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thank you to @GeekyOT for hosting this evening #OTalk, great topic! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and sharing. We don't update with transcript for at least 24 hours so do carry on chatting.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@GeekyOT Starting to think we might need a ‘systematic review’ approach to discovering what apps are out there. We could grade them accordingly and make recommendations and publish like a research paper 🤔 #OTalk
