Living in a remote area presents unique challenges, particularly when accessing essential practitioner and allied health services. People and families living in remote areas often face prohibitively high costs associated with travelling to distant clinics; this makes regular therapy sessions a logistical and financial burden. And paying a mobile practitioner to travel (if one is even available) can cost more again.
By increasing the financial and logistical burden, geographical distance prevents frequent face-to-face contact with therapists, hindering the effectiveness of treatments and leading to poor rehabilitation outcomes… but that was before Taskey.
Taskey is a revolutionary app that helps practitioners, teachers and coaches deliver services to clients when meeting face-to-face is not easy. Taskey makes the “distance factor" much less relevant in remote service delivery. Let’s find out how.
Taskey makes creating powerful home exercises quick and easy
Taskey delivers your personalised home activity tasks direct from the Taskey app on the practitioner phone to the Taskey app on the client phone - so home exercises, study and activities will always be findable in one place.
Each task can include:
- Video
- Photos/images
- Audio
- PDFs
- Instructions and links
The task screen is super versatile, allowing the practitioner or coach to select a combination of elements as a task, then assemble tasks into sets (taskeys) and send to individuals or groups with a completion schedule.
Remote clients can then practise the skill at home, using the content created for them as visual and informational guidance and setting up Taskey push notifications so they can keep to your practice schedule.
In this way, Taskey helps practitioners deliver real value to clients by helping them stay on track when travel for sessions is not feasible or affordable.
Here’s how
With a tool like Taskey, the possibilities are endless! Taskey-based support can provide these three broad outcomes:
- Bridge the gap between sessions: The practitioner captures the ‘teachable moments’ in a face-to-face session to provide tangible (often video-based) instructions for the client; any reported progress in-between times could trigger an updated or new task/taskey to help the client make real progress without face-to-face contact. With anytime access to the advice and techniques covered in the sessions, plus push notifications, client progress won’t stall between sessions.
- Reduce reliance on face-to-face service delivery: by creating a real, tangible ‘bridge’ between sessions, Taskey allows a practitioners to offer a ‘hybrid’ service that delivers optimal value to the client; this might mean one contact hour plus two virtual meetings or phone calls and a taskey after each to provide real and accessible instruction. In this way, clients can make real progress, even when the time between sessions is longer than ideal.
- Deliver services remotely: where clients are geographically distant or difficult to reach physically, Taskey can help deliver services entirely remotely. By combining virtual meetings with Taskey, many practitioner services can still be successfully delivered as ‘no contact’ services.
