🎯 Towards a Hybrid Home Care Model 🎯 Which are the most important functions an app 📱 should have to effectively prevent cognitive, physical #decline and social #isolation? We asked this question to participants during #PROCAREFUL webinar on Thursday, 28th September 2023 and the most selected functions were:  🧠 The ability for #therapists to create their own personalized training plan, and showing the progress in cognitive decline #prevention apps 🏃♂️ Having physiotherapy videos and showing the progress in physical decline #prevention apps   👥 Receiving notifications of upcoming #events in social #isolation prevention apps Thanks to DigiCare4CE - Interreg Central Europe project for presenting some hints on how to digitally transform the long-term care sector.  Thanks also to Jana Vanecek from Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme and to all experts for participating!  #cooperationiscentral to create an innovative home care model!

As @yankodesign reports, there are medical innovations that are completely transforming #healthcare for the better. I find the resilience wheelchair to be super intersting. Due to its compact nature, it can improve #accessibility for people in public.

How can gyms #DoItDifferently to support healthy, active lives for disabled people? Attempts to modernise gyms has seen the introduction of touch screen equipment While some may appreciate this, for others such as blind and visually impaired people, it completely excludes them due to a lack of tactile indication as to where the buttons are Gyms should ensure they have tactile equivalents of their equipment, or equipment with both touch screen and tactile buttons, to ensure blind and visually impaired people are able to use them #Gyms #DoItDifferently

I’ve just completed a redesign of the landing page for a site dedicated to providing physiotherapy services for respiratory issues and lung diseases. The new design aims to enhance user experience and make it easier for patients to access the care they need. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!! #webdesign #UIUX #healthcaredesign #userexperience #userinterface #microinteractions #usability #accessibility #problemsolving #CX

For individuals with mobility challenges, maintaining personal hygiene can be a daily struggle. 🧼 However, thanks to innovations in assistive technology like mobile shower commode chairs (MSCC), tasks like showering and toileting have become more accessible, safe, and comfortable for the end user and their caregivers. One such innovation is the tilting MSCC. In this article, we will explore the benefits and standout features of these titling MSCC, shedding light on specific products that have revolutionized personal care for individuals with disabilities. 🙌 Learn more! 👇 https://ow.ly/7IIH50Qgz24

While the personal touch of staff members remains invaluable to #PatientExperience, effective hospital wayfinding may contribute to a smoother patient journey and improved overall satisfaction. A digital wayfinding system is a "set of computing devices that are linked to a central server that generates and displays interactive wayfinding information.” Key considerations for implementing digital wayfinding tools include clear indications of the user's current location on digital maps, maps that align with the user's current position for better understanding, and options for wheelchair accessibility and other user preferences. #HealthTech #DigitalHealth

I am thrilled to announce the publication of our research titled "Development and Feasibility Testing of a Remote Support Application for Adherence to Home Exercise Programs: A Randomized Pilot Study” across multiple platforms like ResearchGate and PubMed. This project represents a culmination of my passion for merging technology with rehabilitation, aiming to improve patient adherence to home programs. In this study, we addressed the challenge of poor adherence to home exercise programs (HEPs), a significant barrier to continuity of care and eventual outcomes in rehabilitation. We utilized a mobile app which was designed and developed on the Android® operating system for the purpose of this study, to monitor and support patients remotely, thereby pioneering innovative approaches to address this challenge. I am immensely grateful for the invaluable guidance and mentorship provided by Professor R.A. Adedoyin, Professor Chidozie Mbada, Victor Adedini, and Ola Adedamola. Their expertise has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of integrating technology into remote physiotherapy care. You can read the full publication here: PubMed (https://lnkd.in/drc-i9KY), JSTAGE (https://lnkd.in/dJ4W-c9u), and ResearchGate (https://lnkd.in/dpZ6D9V2). Here's to innovation and collaborative efforts in improving healthcare outcomes! 🚀 #RehabilitationTechnology #HealthcareInnovation #RemotePhysiotherapy #ResearchPublication #ExercisePrescription

Imagine getting a prescription not just to get better, but to stay active every single day. 🚶♂️ That's the innovative approach being championed by the collaboration between the sustainable mobility platform walk15.app and Šeškinė Polyclinic (Šeškinės poliklinika) in Vilnius. According to Vlada Musvydaite Vilciauske, the Founder and CEO of the walk15.app, it's like a pharmacy, but for your daily dose of activity. 👟 Here's how it works: once the patient receives their personalized step prescription, he has to just simply whip out their phone, scan the QR code, and voilà. A step program tailored just for him will be unlocked! 👣 Read about a fresh approach to health care: https://lnkd.in/d8MjRxvT
