Mit der RehaGoal App durch komplexe Aufgaben gelotst – Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Erfahrungen

Abstract

The mobile application RehaGoal app is presented for people with acquired and congenital brain damage who have difficulties with complex planning tasks. The development of the RehaGoal app was based on the Goal Management Training approach, which focuses on breaking down an overarching goal into sub-goals and manageable steps to achieve them. So far, this approach has been paper-based, which makes it difficult to transfer to everyday life. Therefore, the RehaGoal app, which can be used on various digital devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, etc., was developed. Our target group often has additional limitations, which is why the RehaGoal app has a barrierfree design, voice output, visual display options, a user-dependent display, simple menu navigation and an authoring system. We illustrate the possible applications of the RehaGoal app with patients in outpatient neuropsychological rehabilitation, during vocational reintegration and during lockdown due to COVID-19.
