1939年,许芭拉出生时,家里还没有电视机,更不用说电脑或智能手机了。
“泰晤士报比较简单了,”芭芭拉说。“有时候,我希望他们仍然是,但它的2020年,有没有回头路可走。”
今天,她使用技术在线管理她的医疗保健。她掌握了MyChart- MD安德森的病人门户-并使用它来检查她的医疗结果,与她的健康护理团队交流,并在线安排预约。
个性化的技术帮助
但80岁白血病《幸存者》并不总是精通数字技术。
“起初,我感到害怕,”她回忆道。“后来我发现了科技星期二,一切都变了。”
技术星期二在举行免费技术帮助会话学习中心每个月的最后一个星期二。病人、他们的家人和护理人员可以顺路来接受电子设备的个性化帮助,社交媒体,移动应用,MyChart多。
阿德拉正义,在该中心的资深馆员说,那些谁寻求帮助它们通常是较早。
“癌症患者在美国的平均年龄是66,这意味着他们不是在数字技术时代提高。然而,作为患者,他们希望使用它,”正义笔记。“此外,他们正在与癌症作斗争。它都可以非常热烈。我们是来帮忙的。”
大多数人用动手的方法学得更好。
亲力亲为的方法建立了技术信心
没有判断和无限的耐心、公正和她的同事工作人员与病人和他们所爱的人并排坐,教他们如何下载和使用一个应用程序,文件保存到iCloud,找到一本关于Kindle,定制电脑或智能手机设置,设置和使用新设备,创建像Facebook这样的社交媒体账户平台或Instagram,安装更新,还有更多,更多。
“大多数人有一个更好的学习实践方法,”法官说。“我们告诉他们如何。然后,我们看着他们的做法。”
她表示,当病人掌握了如何执行一项数字任务时,伴随着“啊哈”时刻的喜悦是巨大的回报。
“现在,他们可以自己做,”正义说。“他们有信心。他们不再要问自己的孙子的帮助。”
司法部提供鼓励的这句话来帮助老年人克服TECHNO-压力,她生怕技术的一句话:“你可以做到这一点。它基本上是“按下这个按钮,这个框里面输入,”这是不是一个天生的天赋。这是一个获得的技能每个人都能学会。”
