I am an Australian occupational therapist, educator and researcher. I have worked as an OT in mental health, vocational rehabilitation and a private surgical hospital. I am passionate using online technology to enhance the knowledge and growth of the occupational therapy profession. In my PhD research I am looking at the role of online technologies in information management and knowledge transfer in occupational therapy.

iShoe


One quarter of senior citizens chronically fall down, leading to over 300,000 broken hips a year. Developed by NASA and tested on astronauts, our patent-pending insole rehabilitates the wearer’s ability to balance, reduces falls, and automatically notifies caregivers and loved ones by phone should a fall take place.
