• Measuring and assessing the patient's need for visual adaptations to their device and installing these settings.
• Testing and recommending suitable color and contrast settings on the device and installing these.
• Guiding and providing recommendations to patients regarding the choice of suitable devices.

Together with the patient, you create a rehabilitation plan and carry out the prescription and training of assistive devices.

The work involves collaboration with colleagues at Syncentralen, relatives, external partners such as the Assistive Technology Center, and other key stakeholders around the patient.
