KARIN ORMAN
Welcome from Royal College of Occupational Therapists
@RCOT_Karin
'any device or system that allows an individual to perform a
task that they would otherwise be unable to do, or increases
the ease and safety with which the task can be performed'
(Royal Commission on Long Term Care, 1999).
Technologies can be divided into 2 categories:
ACTIVE & PASSIVE.
Assistive Technology/
Tech Enabled Care
Reminders Prompts Calendar clocks, memo minders, notice boards, signs, post- its
Smart speakers, phones, watches
Item locator devices
Medication dispensers
Voice prompters
Safety Devices Gas shut off valves,
Sensors-occupancy, movement, gas, flood, smoke, falls, continence,
temperature
Touch lamps, night lights
Mobility and transfer aids- grab rails, seat raises.
Bogus caller alarms
Leisure Touch screen technology- reminiscence, scrapbooks.
Voice activated- speakers, phones.
Social media- support , discussion forums
What to ask:
• Person & occupation.
What does the person want or needs to be able to do?
• Environment - Where do these activities take place?
Will the technology fit, does it work in shared spaces?
• Is there a need for a technical solution?
• Is a technical solution the best on offer?
• Will the technology provide improvement in safety,
security, health and independence?
• Environment. What does the person want to be able to
do?
• Is the technology primarily for safety? Concerns about
safety can restrict activity.
• Does the person have capacity for consent?
• The people and services that may be able to help. How
will the equipment be maintained?
• Funding, initial expense.
• Response to technology will vary and
is not always predictable.
• Data Sharing
Considerations and constraints
The person’s story: Their day, their history, their
relationship with tools and technology, motivation.
“people have different needs, understanding,
personality and abilities. Some people accept
technology more than different people visiting.”
The carer’s story: their anxieties, concerns, expectations
and training needs.
Occupational therapist’s perspective:
How is your thinking influenced?
Commissioning, identity, knowledge,
beliefs and judgements,
time, caseload.
Ultimately technology is
about people…
