TAP can INCREASE INDEPENDENCE AT HOME:
- Automated reminders at scheduled times for routine and non-routine tasks
- Automatically turns on television (if TV off) or takes over input (if TV already on) to broadcast customized reminders and therapy programs. An auditory signal and warning are provided to alert users to the change in TV status.
TAP is USER-FRIENDLY:
- Uses familiar technology (i.e., television) to minimize new learning demands
- The TAP system consists of a small computer and component box, similar in size to a VCR or DVD player. The TAP system also includes an easy-to-use, four-button remote control allowing users to interact with the system.
TAP is CUSTOMIZABLE:
- Customizable features allow for individualization to enhance completion of prompted tasks and therapy programs at home by allowing individualized motivational strategies
- Flexibility of use allows for ongoing modifications to reminders and therapy program content as an individual’s needs change over time
- Care providers (e.g., therapists, family members) with an Internet connection can log into our secure server to create and modify customized reminder content, preview reminders, and track in-home use/adherence
