The initial focus will be an implementation of the PRMQ (Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire) as well as a prospective memory exercise centered around accomplishing everyday tasks for the iPad. These will allow the to see how well they are recovering.
Our particular focus within TBI Tracker is to help patients plan out the steps to everyday tasks they want to do, including what they will need during the process and how long the different steps take so that they know when to start. Once the activity is planned out, it can be scheduled during a free slot on the person’s schedule.
TBI Tracker should allow the patient to have a better understanding of their injury, symptoms, and progress. By doing so, it promotes patient involvement in the rehabilitation process to have better conversations with their clinicians, care team and family members about their injury.
We are currently in the research and development phase. As soon as we have a working build, we will make it available to download via Github. Please contact us to get a better understanding of what is happening immediately.
