User driven

e-plan is the result of a user-driven innovation project.

e-plan was developed by the Department for Neurohabilitation (Oslo University Hospital) and is designed in close collaboration with people who need habilitation as well as their services and loved ones.

e-plan is based on professional principles in habilitation

Individually designed

e-plan is particularly suitable for people who need an individually designed planning tool. Functionality can be tailored so that the amount and type of assistance is conveyed where the individual needs it. Function buttons that are not needed are therefore not visible for the e-plan user. This contributes to a simpler and more intuitive interface that adapts to the person rather than the person having to adapt to a specific design.

User participation

User participation is crucial for active participation in one's own life and an essential component of good services.

e-plan promotes concrete user participation, among other things, through choice functionality and opportunities to decline offers for activities. The combination of individually adapted information (text/sound/photo/symbols etc.) and choice functionality also makes e-plan suitable for promoting decision support.

Active support

Participation in decisions about, and execution of, daily tasks is considered important for a good quality of life. e-plan can be designed in line with mapped assistance needs and adapted to changing wishes and needs.

By adding and phasing out the type and amount of help in step with self-management, e-plan will be able to contribute to active participation and a more independent everyday life for many.

Functionality in e-plan

Click on the image/heading for each function for more information on areas of application and professional tips!

Digital Clock
There is always quick access to a simple digital clock, with time, day of the week, date and time of day. The clock also functions well as a screen saver where any tap on the screen leads back to the plan.

Random draw
Dice, or random drawing, is a function that can make the plan more exiting and contribute to planned exposure for variety.
The options can be visible or hidden. By hiding the options, you can use the functionality to convey a motivating surprise.
Random drawing is well suited in combination with a time lock.

Weekly schedule
The weekly schedule shows the week's activities and contributes to predictability. It is easy to see which activities have been carried out in previous days. If desired, the days of the week can be colour-coded with your own colours.
(Sundays will appear as the first day in the week in the US)

Individual design
Each activity can be designed in line with individual needs and preferences. Images, text and functionality that are activated become visible to e-plan users in user mode.

The interface is intuitive with switches that are easily enabled or disabled.

Day mode

Day mode gives the person an overview of the day in a chronological order. The activities can be organized in a fixed order or flexibly, which makes the list function as a list of activity offers.

Multiple Choice

Facilitating choices is one of several ways to promote user involvement in the e-plan. By clicking on an option, the activity is automatically added to the plan. Multiple choice are often used to select food and activities, but can also be combined with other features such as symbol marking, FaceTime, or URL.

Activity chains

"Many people utilize visual support to carry out daily activities or to master new tasks at home, school, or work. By designing individual action chains with an tailored amount and type of support, the e-plan can contribute to genuine self-management and active participation in one's own life."

Checklist

For many people, checklists can be a smart way to remember everything that needs to go in a bag, shopping basket or find certain things before an activity can begin. Checklists have contributed to many becoming safer and more independent .

Decline activites
Option to refuse/say no to activities can be a good way of facilitating participation in one's own everyday life. The function can be available on all, none or selected activities.

Activity notes
Activity notes provide the opportunity to add supplementary text to each individual activity. This can be information for e-plan users such as social stories or information for service providers that ensure procedure integrity and predictable services.

Points
It is possible to add points to activities. The points are stored in a bank where the administrator can approve the points, for example at a behavioral contract meeting. It is possible to use symbols (token economy) in addition to numbers (here 3) to show the number of points

Bank
Points from each individual activity (where points are activated) are added to a separate bank for approval. The bank is suitable for, e.g. evaluation meetings (cf. behavioral contracts). There is a separate login to the points bank.

Color coding
Color coding of activities is an effective way of categorizing activities or conveying information about the characteristics of activities. Must-/can tasks (cf. behavior agreements), independent/with assistance, inside/outside are examples of the use of color coding.

Symbol tags 👍🏽
Symbol marking is an opportunity to highlight or tag characteristics of an activity or a choice. The labeling is based on the same principle as "product labeling" of food in the shop. Choose your prefered emoji to tag activities. The function makes it possible to highlight "smart choices" or the doctor's recommendation 👩‍⚕️

URL links
It is possible to link a specific url address to activities. By tapping on the screen, the website opens automatically, which helps the e-plan user to enjoy and take part in the opportunities available on the internet

Video call
Many people like to call family and friends but need help to carry out such calls. Activities (or photos of people) can be linked to a phone number or Apple ID. If the person clicks on a picture of the desired person e-plan will automatically open a video call.

Voice message/Auditive prompts
Voice messages can be suitable as permanent support or as a temporary prompt that can be deactivated when the activity is mastered. Simple reminders, pleasant messages or sharing social stories are examples of the use of voice messages in e-plan.

Visual countdown timer
A visual countdown contributes to predictability and is particularly suitable for activities that do not have a specific end point. Brushing teeth, cooking time or screen/game time are examples of activities where this function is often used.

Alarm/Reminder
Like other calendars, e-plan also has the option of sending reminders/alarms for specific tasks or activities. The alarm leads directly to the activity for which the alarm has been set.

Time lock
Certain activities are limited to specific times. Using a time lock can be suitable to signal whether the activity is available or not. Departure time for school/work or medical time can be examples of such activities.
