Using the DriveSafe DriveAware app to guide decision making when cognitive fitness to drive is in question - webinar
Still fit to drive? Using the DriveSafe DriveAware app to guide decision making when cognitive fitness to drive is in question with Melinda Cooper, Occupational Therapist
Following medical events such as CVA, brain injury or a diagnosis of dementia, one of the first questions asked by clients is "when can I drive again?" This on-demand webinar will provide an overview of DriveSafe DriveAware, a quick and easy-to-use iPad app that predicts a person's performance in an OT on-road driving assessment, as well as applications of the test when informing other members of the multi-disciplinary team such as GPs, neurologists and geriatricians.
