Health and Psychology

So I was on a social networking site for mental health professionals and a colleague mentioned he just got iPads for testing and wondered what was available.  So here goes.

Let me start with simple things that don't require an iPad and can work on an iPhone.  They may be on Google or Android as well but I don't have those.

1.  PAR Toolkit.  This includes the Normal Curve, a Conversion Chart, an Age Calculator, a Stop Watch, a Compliancy Calculator, a QR Code Scanner.  It includes a link to assessments for purchase.

2.  MMSE-and MMSE-2 Also by PAR.  These are mental status examinations.

3.  BRIEF-also by PAR-a rating of executive Function with a conversion to convert raw scores into scaled scores

4. NEO-also by PAR-a personality inventory

5.  The PAI also by PAR also for personality.

6.  What U see-by Baltronic a measure of visual acuity

7.  What U hear-by Baltronic-a measure of auditory acuity

8. SCAT-2-Standardized Assessment of Concussion and Maddocks questions for sideline concussion assessment.

9.PAR-CARR-Concussion Recognition and Response

10.  CCT-CoOccurring Conditions for TBI. This is a great little appication to help people with traumatic brain injury ensure other conditions aren't missed. it's by DCoETBI it links to medications, patient education, provider websites and DSM-IV-TR.

11. Novopsych-application for testing.  These are generally public domain tests all together in a single application.

12. Pearson-Q-interactive.  Requires two iPads.  I tried this, but it felt too excessive for working with an SSD population.  I have it for my office, but if the internet isn't working you still need paper.

13. OSMO-this is a game that uses the ipad and regular paper or a table, that allows the person to be able to manipulate things in front of the iPad like Tangrams, drawing, and words.  Nice for rehabilitation and to describe what difficulties some people have.

14. Personality Types by Radiance House-16 personality type assessment for helping with team building or career counseling.

15.  TOMS-Therapy Outcome Management System, a pre and post measure of how treatment is going session by session.
