There’s an App for that! Web, Cloud and Mobile Patient teaching
Over the past several years, technology available for teaching patients has grown, as Web, cloud and mobile based tools have expanded. Use of mobile and web based applications are now an integral part of many teaching episodes. Such applications can be used to communicate a variety of points, ideas or concepts.
For this week’s DQ, search the web or use your app store to find a mobile or web based application that might be useful for helping teach a client about a health issue. You do not need to purchase or download the application (unless you want to), rather, bookmark so you can find it again! Most mobile apps will also have a web page, so if you find an app in, for example, iTunes, then find the corresponding web page for it and paste the link into your initial post.
Once you find your application, copy the link and paste it in an initial DQ post. Address the following points:
• Describe the application and the health problem being addressed
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the application
• Discuss how you might integrate the application into a teaching episode
• Respond to three of your classmates
Respond to 2 or more postings of your colleagues, addressing such things as:
• Do you agree with the concepts expressed?
• Is there something that needs clarification?
• Can you support what your colleague posted?
• Challenge your colleague to a different view or deeper insight.
