Illustrative quotes for Theme 4 – added value of technology.

1	“I think, if I could put a recording of my hand and show them: ‘here my issues this week’ or, ‘here’s what I do, can you further help me?’. There are tasks, for example, for me the simple task of opening a jar, and if a clinician could watch how I go about it perhaps they could help stretch, manipulate or suggest something further because oftentimes it’s difficult to explain. The day-to-day stuff that say at the clinic that day they put in front of you, which is great, but it’s not necessarily the same as you have at home. So, having the camera, this is my daily routine, my in-house function, yeah, for sure” (ID 3)
2	“Yeah. I think the biggest single thing is the daily living component. It’s the fact that it’s not as structured as being in a lab setting where somebody is instructed to do a certain activity. You know, because there’s going to be, um, the point of rehab and certainly you know assistance, is to be able to bring a real life, a real life activity, a real life scenario. So, I think there is going to be benefit. I will be able to see, firsthand essentially, um, activities might be more difficult than others, as opposed to just viewing somebody in a lab setting or a hospital setting” (ID 4)
3	“The benefit, the benefit of wearing the camera is that you see. It’s a visual, it gives them the chance to see instead of, now we’re talking. It’s still better to get a visual recording so that you can pinpoint the actual problem of the person who is wearing the camera. Like, say raising my hand, bending, doing chores, all that with the visual video. With the video you won’t have any problem distinguishing between the person who is sick, the way he is coping, and the way he is, uh, the progress the person is making” (ID 5)
4	“To incentivize or to give reinforcement showing improvement or showing areas to work on before looking at – oh you can twist it this way or that way, now you can or you can know that I can touch all the fingers or that you know have the strength that you didn’t have before or the fine motor skills to pick up that dime on the floor, see how much easier you pick it up” (ID 2)
