“…A recent qualitative study suggested stroke survivors found such interventions helpful and acceptable [18]. While mobile devices have been introduced in the acute care setting to promote patient education and engagement [19, 20], there have been no studies using mobile platform technologies for communication therapy, specifically within the first 14 days following stroke.…”

BackgroundApproximately 40% of patients diagnosed with stroke experience some degree of aphasia. With limited health care resources, patients’ access to speech and language therapies is often delayed. We propose using mobile-platform technology to initiate early speech-language therapy in the acute care setting. For this pilot, our objective was to assess the feasibility of a tablet-based speech-language therapy for patients with communication deficits following acute stroke.MethodsWe enrolled consecutive patients admitted with a stroke and communication deficits with NIHSS score ≥1 on the best language and/or dysarthria parameters. We excluded patients with severe comprehension deficits where communication was not possible. Following baseline assessment by a speech-language pathologist (SLP), patients were provided with a mobile tablet programmed with individualized therapy applications based on the assessment, and instructed to use it for at least one hour per day. Our objective was to establish feasibility by measuring recruitment rate, adherence rate, retention rate, protocol deviations and acceptability.ResultsOver 6 months, 143 patients were admitted with a new diagnosis of stroke: 73 had communication deficits, 44 met inclusion criteria, and 30 were enrolled into RecoverNow (median age 62, 26.6% female) for a recruitment rate of 68% of eligible participants. Participants received mobile tablets at a mean 6.8 days from admission [SEM 1.6], and used them for a mean 149.8 minutes/day [SEM 19.1]. In-hospital retention rate was 97%, and 96% of patients scored the mobile tablet-based communication therapy as at least moderately convenient 3/5 or better with 5/5 being most “convenient”.ConclusionsIndividualized speech-language therapy delivered by mobile tablet technology is feasible in acute care.

Background Learner benefits of tablet computer use have been demonstrated, yet there is little evidence regarding faculty tablet use for teaching. Objective Our study sought to determine if supplying faculty with tablet computers and peer mentoring provided benefits to learners and faculty beyond that of non–tablet-based teaching modalities. Methods We provided faculty with tablet computers and three 2-hour peer-mentoring workshops on tablet-based teaching. Faculty used tablets to teach, in addition to their current, non–tablet-based methods. Presurveys, postsurveys, and monthly faculty surveys assessed feasibility, utilization, and comparisons to current modalities. Learner surveys assessed perceived effectiveness and comparisons to current modalities. All feedback received from open-ended questions was reviewed by the authors and organized into categories. Results Of 15 eligible faculty, 14 participated. Each participant attended at least 2 of the 3 workshops, with 10 to 12 participants at each workshop. All participants found the workshops useful, and reported that the new tablet-based teaching modality added value beyond that of current teaching methods. Respondents developed the following tablet-based outputs: presentations, photo galleries, evaluation tools, and online modules. Of the outputs, 60% were used in the ambulatory clinics, 33% in intensive care unit bedside teaching rounds, and 7% in inpatient medical unit bedside teaching rounds. Learners reported that common benefits of tablet computers were: improved access/convenience (41%), improved interactive learning (38%), and improved bedside teaching and patient care (13%). A common barrier faculty identified was inconsistent wireless access (14%), while no barriers were identified by the majority of learners. Conclusions Providing faculty with tablet computers and having peer-mentoring workshops to discuss their use was feasible and added value.

“…Many recent studies are showing that tablet computers can improve physicians practice as well as patient engagement. [5][6][7][8][9] While Apple iPad had an early dominance among the tablet market, Android tablets started to catch up in market share and expected to have around 60% of the tablet computer market compared to iPad at about 33% and Windows at 5% [10]. Google Android, Apple iOS and Microsoft Windows now represent the three major operating system platform for tablet computers.…”

Tablet computers are surpassing desktop and laptop PC combined in market share and becoming an important medium for delivering digital content. They are also equipped with powerful hardware that are capable of rendering high definition 3D graphics which we have seen in the abundance of apps developed for all three of the mainstream tablet platforms: Apple iOS, Google Android and Microsoft Windows. However, delivering cross platform 3D content integrated with each platform's native GUI framework has been challenging because of the non-trivial difference in their development tools. We propose a novel solution to address this issue base on open standard and open source projects.
