The guided setup

Four short steps: personalize, preferences, voice and access, then a review — every answer can be changed later.

1 min readUpdated For: family, patient

After you sign up, the guided setup asks a few simple questions in four steps. Step 1, Personalize: who will use the app (the patient, a family member setting it up, a clinician, a facility, or someone who helps in another way), what you most want help with (speaking and communication, understanding care, recovery practice, managing personal affairs — ranked), and the condition mode.

Step 2, Personalize the experience: text size, button size, contrast and the other display preferences. Step 3, Set up voice and access: pick a voice, and add the first people and phone numbers. If you enter the patient's name and date of birth here, the two phrases hospitals ask for constantly are saved and pinned for her. Step 4 is a review of everything you chose.

Today the Aphasia and Stroke library is the one that is fully built. The other modes (ICU, ALS and Parkinson's, dementia, head and neck, hospice) can be chosen and the choice is saved, but they start with today's core library — the app says so on the screen.

Nothing is locked in. Everything here can be changed later in Settings, and the setup can be reopened from the search box (type setup).
