About the solution
The app allows the user to set the total number of positions on the patient’s body where the treatment must occur, the number of minutes that the tapping action must be performed per position and a time period for resting in between each position. An alert displays on the phone to let the user know when it’s time to change positions, which can also be customizable.
To engage the child, animal sounds and graphics with a celebration screen appears that incorporates the patient’s name when a treatment is complete.
The timer itself is a graphical representation of the countdown instead of just a clock, and continues to operate even when the phone screen automatically locks. Daily reminders can also be set to remind the parent when it’s time for their child’s treatment.
The app is free and can be easily downloaded from the App Store.
