Welcome to the revolution (in AT) How our smartphones, tablets and  virtual assistants are facilitating safety and independence.

QR Example 

At the end of this session participants will be able to describe how Jim’s Place can be utilized as a resource to assist with clients occupational participation and independence. 

At the end of this session participants will be able to demonstrate the ability to search St Ambrose’s web site to access apps for using IPads and smartphones to increase independence and functioning .

At the end of this session participants will be able to describe the pros and cons of various voice interaction systems and equipment (Dragon, Google, Echo, Siri  and microphone selection (Dragon Systems ) to facilitate independence. 

At the end of this session participants will be able to describe the accessibility features that many smart phones can provide their clients to increase environmental control and communication skills. 

Main Objectives

Cost of Iowa Nursing home in 2013 $64K

Week ?   $1230  DAY:  $175.72

Cost of a ceiling track system (4 weeks)

Cost of a bidet: HomeTech Industries HI‐6000BC Feel Fresh Bidet Toilet Seat (washes and dries) (2.3 days) 

Family depression rate and risk vs. empowerment

Occupations can open many doors… 

Why AT and how I frame it

We must improve our tech savviness if we are going to assist our clients and their families.

We have so many tools available today it’s more about picking the right tool.

Empower yourself!

Asked to talk about empowerment

You know what skills your clients have, and what skills are lacking. 

Your task is to find the equipment that can substitute for the lost skills so they can still be functional.

Welcome to the revolution (in AT)

because…

20 years ago proprietary and 

dedicated equipment ruled

(tobii, dynovox, SIcare, Tash, etc)

Today computers smaller, cheaper,  yet powerful

Integrated systems that work well with each other (Bluetooth 4.0) standard across platforms

Smart TV systems that are (will be) interconnected

Smart Phones

New Apps by the hour… 

Turmoil in AV and IT industry 

1st ECU had to press a switch 9 timesto dial the number 9

Still a place for some of these dinosaurs;such as the eye tracking  Tobii‐Dynovox I15, …  $23K ++

ECU System (PC based)

Controls TVs, CBL,DVD, Phones, & appliances   Part of our loaning library

What can take it’s place

Galaxy S6 Iphone

Total hands Free Needs a button pushed (Phone and Texting) or Bluetooth headset

(Can work around if powered )

Has an IR Blaster No IR

Wireless Charging No

Has Gear VR  No system 

( Other than Google cardboard)

Note: Options and  designs always in flux

Choose the right smartphone!

New phones require lots of power, often!

Wireless charging.. Galaxy (not IPhone yet)

Wheelchair attachments (power from the WC)

Cripple concepts Power‐Buddy‐Wheelchair

A phone without power is a coasterAn IPad without power is a cheese tray

Apps for empowerment

Check out the St Ambrose OT/AT Facebook site for list of apps. 

Voice control: Galaxy S‐voice (hands free dialing, texting)

Nuance/Dragon/Siri/  OK Google 

Fade: (fall reminder)

Insteon hub (home automation)

IP Camera (telepresence)

Oculus (VR GEAR) (more on this later)

Google Keyboard app 

Of wait, more apps available now…

Even more…

Sample of Apps

Change is very obvious (some of my clients ECUs have been replaced by apps on smart phones)

Insteon hub  Fade: Fall Detector 

Holding the phone or tablet:

Many hands free holders are easily converted 

for WC phone holders.

Ram Motorcycle 

Mount for phones

IPad / phone holder  Rubber band works too…

Be wary of long goosenecks or long loc‐line 

Phone requirements/problems

Voice control has  finally arrived. (At least as good as what was pictured in 

the 1st Star Trek series.)

Keyword was “Computer” Reply was “Working” click, click  buzz…

Amazon Echo and Dot

Insteon hub (controlled by Echo)

Read any Kindle, Play any Amazon Music ??

A cloud based system so you have to be “connected”.

Wake by stating not “Computer” but “Alexia” (or Amazon)

No voice training (does have, but I have never used it)

Echo platform is growing almost daily with "skills"

Home control, TV, alarms, timers, shopping, schedule, paging a phone (not dialing, yet)

Echo can be the device generating the "noise" and yet can still "hear your voice" (my guess is destructive interference, the physics that powers noise cancelling headsets ???) 

(Echo has multi‐microphones)

Echo and the cloud  (Alexia)

Many good smartphones have an Infrared blaster to provide TV/AV control  (Galaxy YES!... IPhone NO!) 

Echo and your phone also has Bluetooth 

Anymote is built to use both the phone and/or your Echo

Can only 1.25 million devices

Can be placed to control many devices!

Controlling a Smartphone with Echo

Echo can recognize an “Anymote” command and send it through your smart phone IR port or use the Anymotedevice to flood an entire room with IR signals so one can control multi‐devices. 

Example: “Alexia, tell anymote to power on my Coby”

Echo recognizes it’s name

Looks to see that device is enabled

Bluetooth command to the smart phone

Smart phone (or Ipad) sends IR message to the anymote remote

Voice control of a TV (and others)

Will play any music in your Amazon music library (Bluetooth Speakers)

Will stream Amazon prime music

Will “read” any kindle book (free) or Amazon Audible (not free)

Shopping list or to do list

Page a phone

Organizing/Calendar

Podcasts and radio

Cooking (how to and timers)

Appliance control (lights, fan, call lights)

Echo $180, Dot $89   (Echo: 1 day in a nursing home    Dot: 12 Hours)

Other Echo Skills

Nuance (Dragon, Siri, On‐star) OK google, S‐voice

Dragon still the best to write a book but you will need a quiet room and a consistent microphone input. (powerful computer and a newer version of Dragon)

Free Dragon for I pad works well as does the driving assistant for Galaxy phones (S voice) (I‐phones too, I guess)

Background noise still a problem but less that it has been.

Noise vs. Voice is the key (Noise cancelling USB microphone helps)

Voice Control; How good;  What can it do, Limitations

Amazon Echo (right off the shelf) works with IPads, smart phones and home control systems and is a great example of integration of systems. 

Many choices for assistive equipment for the home today. 

(Control4, Crestron, AMX, BitWise, RTI, Savant, Elang!, Total Control and a few others). HINT choose a system that plays well with others. 

Dish network is a system that does not allow for integration with other systems, uses radio waves, not IR for control in systems such as the Hopper/Joey systems. (be careful)

Nothing on the market today can provide adaptive control.

Today: Integration of systems is the key

Tobii‐Dynavox

Needs a good set‐up and constant distance to work

PC EYE $4K (eye mouse) need computer skills

I15 23$ (Total eye system) no prior skills needed

Less fatiguing than head control, can be more frustrating

Does not work as well with eye glasses or if light is reflected off the glasses

Eye Tracking systems

Head movement control

SmartNav ($500)    Eviacam (free)

Head tracking (head movement control)
