Expressive App for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad 

Uploaded on Mar 6, 2011

Expressive is an entry-level, easy to use, and powerful app that allows children and adults with a speech impairment or a communication disorder to express their wants and needs through the use of pictures. It does not matter if an individual is having difficulty communicating due to autism, apraxia, stroke or any other communication disorder, Expressive will give that person the ability to express themselves through the use of pictured images and corresponding audio.

The best thing about Expressive is its ease of use. It does not require any knowledge about programming or manuals; Expressive is intuitive and simple to use.

Flexible and intuitive customization within Expressive allows users to select from a pool of images with audio files, create their own folders and arrange the images as they please.

If you have a family member that has lost the ability to express themselves(even if just temporarily due to a surgery, accident or aphasia) Expressive will give them back the ability to communicate and express their basic needs.

Expressive is compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch, and the iPad. Expressive contains male and female voice audio.

Version 1.2 of Expressive contains the following upgrades:
    - Ability to add your own images to the library;
    - Change background color of folders;
    - Record your own audio to your images;
    - Hide delete and add image buttons to avoid accidents;
    - Search button to find images quickly;
    - Completely redesigned graphics;

iPads Helping With Cognitive Rehabilitation 

Posted at: 08/29/2013

It's almost 2 years since 33 year old Nate Shoultz suffered a stroke that robbed him of his ability to speak. As the father of 4, the youngest just 6 weeks old, to say it was devastating is an understatement. But he has persevered and is getting help in recovering what he's lost thanks to an I-pad.

Nate is proving what research is finding... That technology can with cognitive therapy.
"Helping him re develop or relearn math skills" explains speech pathologist Cheryl Hoffis who says, before the I-Pad she'd have to go through many books and make copies of items patients would find interesting. All cumbersome. The I-pad is easier to use at home and Nate's wife says, for a guy who was always tech savvy, it's a connection with this pre-stroke life.
But the story doesn't end here. The Glens Falls Hospital Rehabilitation and Wellness center where Nate's a patient, was able to purchase the i-pad used by therapists, thanks to a donation by Wayne and Tammy Bukovinsky.
"Adapt and overcome" says Wayne . .it was his motto during his years as a sound technician for rock and pop groups served him well after suffering a traumatic brain injury 5 years ago, the result of a motorcycle accident.
Residents of North River, that community rallied to support him and his wife.
"So many came out for me" he says he felt compelled to pay it forward and help others.
So they created the North Country Hardship fund and with money raised they made a donation to the Glens Falls Hospital to purchase the i-pad. Says Wayne,
" I love to see that he's able to what he used to do being a computer programmer. I love seeing that. "

iPad Apps for Medical School 

Published on Nov 25, 2012

iPad Apps that I use in Medical School.

Comments (DocOssareh):
DocOssareh - Go with the Thieme atlas. Much better than pocketbody in my opinion. 
ro_obs - Thank you for sharing! Funny timing that it's Cyber Monday - I'm considering buying an iPad. It really seems to be worth it for med school. 
DocOssareh - The iPad is great. But I think having a great laptop is more important. You need a rock solid laptop that will work all the time. You will be on your computer all the time. But once that is setup, the iPad is a fantastic addition. 
Emma Coakley - I use notability on my iPad, I personally find it easier to take notes during a lecture on iPad rather than a computer because an iPad is smaller and easier to carry around, and my case has a little keyboard attached which is great. When it comes to typing an essay or assignment on the computer it's easier to read notes from the iPad... but I guess it all comes down to personal preference! 
Irisbooks - The Personal Statement App is brilliant for anybody applying to med school. There is a simple five-point plan to follow which helps you to plan, structure and then edit your statement straight onto your iPad. It includes examples of successful statements and loads of helpful advice.

Apple iPad 4 vs Microsoft Surface RT 

Published on Nov 8, 2012

Finding itself in a new venture with its first all in-house tablet, Microsoft finds itself in a unfamiliar position in being the underdog -- whereas in the PC industry, they have a dominant presence. Now that the fourth-generation iPad is making the rounds, it's going to be one very interesting showdown between it and the Microsoft Surface RT. Sporting the same starting price points, these are arguably the most highly prized premier tablets at the moment, so we're all dying to find out how they fare against one another head on. Let's start, shall we?

Microsoft Surface 2 and Pro 2 First Impressions

Published on Sep 24, 2013

SSTattler: This is the lasted TechCrunch Sep/2013!

Alex Wilhem and Chris Velazco talk about the Microsoft's release of the Surface 2. Inside the Pro 2 is a 1.6GHz Intel Core i5 chip, and you've got your choice of RAM and storage configurations (the priciest model tops out with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD). It's always tricky to get a feel for performance out in the field — and on apparently non-final hardware no less — but the Pro 2 easily kept up with me as I fired up apps with reckless abandon and indulged in a little midday Portal 2.
