Revolutionizing Medical Screening and Patient Assessment for Physical Therapists

The Medical Screening app is an innovative tool for educators and students to learn about screening patients with medical conditions. As a quick reference guide, clinicians can use the app to aid their clinical decision-making about whether the patient warrants an immediate referral or can continue with treatment and rehabilitation. The app covers all body systems and provides essential assessment skills, insightful subjective interview/patient history questions, and a visceral pain referral map.

After five years of meticulous development, the Medical Screening app contains a wealth of information. It provides an understanding of constitutional signs, guides users through the process of performing a systems review and a review of systems, and explores common visceral pain referral patterns. Moreover, it enables users to conduct appropriate screening procedures, ensuring optimal decision-making regarding a patient’s suitability for continued treatment or the need for an immediate referral. The app also includes an invaluable compilation of "not to be missed"/red flag conditions.

This app is an indispensable tool for educators, clinicians, and students who want to enhance their knowledge in these areas while working with diverse patients and clients. It is a comprehensive resource for determining the appropriateness of rehabilitation or referral.

Elevate your teaching and clinical practice by exploring the features of the new Medical Screening app today! Witness firsthand how this innovative tool can revolutionize patient assessment, streamline decision-making, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Vision App: Elevate Your Teaching of Eye Anatomy and Visual Impairments!

The Vision app is an innovative solution designed specifically for faculty and students seeking a better understanding of eye anatomy, function, and the various impairments that affect vision. The app also aids learners in understanding vision changes over the lifespan, understanding common neurologic and trauma-based conditions affecting vision, and how to use adaptive tools to enhance patient safety and function.

• Exploring Eye Anatomy and Function

  • The Vision app provides students with an understanding of both eye anatomy and function. Through brief, engaging video-based lectures, students can grasp the intricate details of the eye's structures and their roles in visual perception. This foundational knowledge lays the groundwork for further exploration into vision impairments and related conditions.

Visual Pathways & Function of the Cortex

• Appreciating Vision Changes Across the Lifespan

  • Understanding how vision changes throughout different stages of life is essential for providing comprehensive care. The Vision app allows students to explore common changes in vision as patients age. From infancy to the elderly, students can appreciate the development and aging of the visual system, gaining valuable insights into age-related vision alterations.

• Recognizing Common Eye Conditions

  • Recognizing and understanding common eye conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The Vision app enables students to "see" through the eyes of patients with various conditions, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and macular degeneration. By virtually experiencing the visual impairments associated with these conditions, students can develop a deeper understanding of their impact on patients' lives.

• Adaptive Strategies and Tools

  • Managing visual impairments requires the use of adaptive strategies and tools that enhance patient function and safety. The Vision app goes beyond theoretical knowledge by showcasing real-life examples of adaptive strategies and tools. Students can watch demonstrations that teach them how to train patients in the effective use of adaptive tools. This approach equips students with hands-on practical skills they can then apply in clinical settings.

• Elevating Teaching and Clinical Practice

  • By incorporating the Vision app into teaching and clinical practice, educators, practitioners, and students can elevate the quality of education and patient care. The app is a powerful tool for understanding eye anatomy, exploring changes in vision across the lifespan, and recognizing common eye conditions affecting patients. With its interactive features, virtual immersive experiences, and practical demonstrations of adaptive strategies and tools, this app enhances teaching and clinical practice in the field of vision care. Explore the new Vision app today and equip yourself and your students with the knowledge and skills to provide optimal care to patients with visual impairments.

Diagnostic Imaging Simulations

Diagnostic Imaging Simulations Coming to PhysioU!

Diagnostic imaging has traditionally been a difficult subject to teach throughout the curriculum – it is a vital skill in multiple areas of practice, but one which students tend to have a hard time grasping. This is what led us at PhysioU to develop case-based simulations for common pain presentations, including diagnostic imaging related to the patient’s specific injury or complaint.

Guiding students through case-based experiences presents a perfect opportunity to integrate diagnostic imaging related directly to healing, function, exercise selection, and patient education. With PhysioU e-learning and simulation content you can grade student exposure to diagnostic imaging content, utilize interactive learning reports to track student learning, and allow students to revisit key concepts across their journey through your program. 

Regardless of whether the students are learning for the first time, in clinical rotations, or studying for board exams, PhysioU has worked to create content that will support faculty and learners alike in the effective delivery of diagnostic imaging modules.
