I have recently gotten an iPhone And wondered if there were any apps that help monitor health conditions and pain levels that don't cost a fortune?0

@nanof6 Good morning! Where in the country are you? We might be able to help organise a volunteer for you!

@nanof6 Hmmm.Not sure what to suggest. We don't have any volunteers near you. You could call the Scope helpline and see if they can help!

HI Alex i have pretty bad RSI in both hands and am looking into how best to use the mouse/cursor hands free. Currently looking into GlassOuse and Eye Gaze. Any othe suggestions much appreciated.0
-
@tw25 Eyegaze is good but it is still fairly expensive, I've tried GlassOuse out and was actually really impressed with it. I'd also look at the Smart Nav head mouse. This is available from http://www.inclusive.co.uk/smartnav-4-p2434. You might want to get one of these on a sale or return basis so you can see if it it is useful.

Ty Alex
Been trying to find reviews on Glassouse but found nothing so suprised to hear you tried it and got on quite well with this. Yes ive seen Smart nav b4. Think you are right about trial and return. Have you used Smart nav also and how did you find this ?0 -
@tw25 I think Glassouse is not marketed that widely in the UK. The UK seller of the device is a man called Tom Yendell and it might be worth getting in contact with him (http://www.tomyendell.co.uk/index.html). The website for Glassouse is (http://glassouse.com/). i don't think you could really say that one is better then the other to be honest! I've only used SmartNav briefly and was quite impressed. Hope this helps!

Ty Alex. Im in contact with Tom regarding the Glassouse as needed to check if it would work with my laptop as i dont have blue tooth but with a dongle it should work. Bit more reading and look to try one or the other.
Ty for all your help much appreciated.0 -
