MyBrain 2.0 helps people who are working with a provider to help them recover after a brain injury. We learned a great deal in our previous version and have enhanced this tool to make it both useful and easy to use. The App helps the individual recovering from a brain injury answer periodic assessments, follow interventions, and journal how they are feeling in their journey. This means that the individual does not need to remember various events and episodes between visits with their healthcare professional. When they do meet, all the data is available to the healthcare professional to help inform them as they consider various treatment options. A dark mode helps people with light sensitivity, and the App has built in screen reading, to make it easier to understand the questions and the answer options.
