Occupational Therapy Virtual Assistant-AI-powered OT planning assistant

Example

The OTVA helps occupational therapists create specific, measurable, and time-bound (SMART) goals. For instance, if working with a stroke patient experiencing limited hand function, the assistant may suggest goals like 'Client will improve fine motor coordination to pick up small objects within 4 weeks, achieving a 70% success rate.'

Scenario

A therapist treating a patient with traumatic brain injury (TBI) uses OTVA to set up rehabilitation goals around cognitive functioning, such as improving memory recall or task sequencing. The assistant ensures these goals are clear and achievable based on the patient's condition and progress.

Example

Based on a client’s diagnosis, such as multiple sclerosis, OTVA suggests interventions such as energy conservation techniques, adaptive equipment recommendations, and home modification strategies.

Scenario

An occupational therapist working with an elderly client experiencing fatigue and mobility issues can use OTVA to recommend specific interventions like 'Introduce a walker with a seat to assist with mobility and reduce fatigue during daily activities.'

Example

The OTVA provides templates for progress notes, evaluations, and discharge summaries. For example, it can generate a standardized SOAP note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) for a pediatric therapy session.

Scenario

A therapist documenting progress for a child with autism can use OTVA to efficiently fill out a SOAP note after a session, saving time on paperwork while ensuring all relevant information is captured in a structured format.

Example

OTVA offers tools to track client progress over time, including visual progress graphs and achievement metrics. For instance, it tracks how many functional goals a stroke patient has met during therapy sessions.

Scenario

An OT working in a rehabilitation facility can use OTVA to monitor how a client recovering from a hip replacement is progressing in their ability to independently perform daily activities like dressing or cooking, using customizable progress tracking tools.

Example

The assistant provides access to a library of client-facing resources, such as educational videos or handouts on managing conditions like arthritis or using adaptive devices effectively.

Scenario

A therapist working with a client newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis can use OTVA to supply educational videos on joint protection techniques, empowering the client to better manage their condition between therapy sessions.
