Opis

My work was inspired by my experience of working with patients with severe brain injury''. Patients in low awareness are often difficult to diagnose . Their behaviour may suggest that they are not aware of themselves or what's around them. Unless provided with a comprehensive and structured assessment , meaningful responses can be missed , leading to misdiagnosis . SMART is a pioneering technique to help identify the extent of the Patients brain Injury. The thought that I could help improve the life of a patient or a relative was also very inspiring. The project Focuses on the effectiveness of the interventions from the perspective of therapists that use it.
