OT Students Present at Graduate Student Research Day

Congratulations to our MSc OT students

Each year, the Faculty of Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto hosts a Graduate Student Research Day. This event provides the opportunity for second year MScOT students to present their project findings and celebrate their contributions to the research community and occupational therapy.

This past June, MScOT students from the DATE lab showcased their exciting results during this event. Congrats team!

Erin & Katie presented their work on Mixed Reality Technologies. This project explores task sequencing in persons with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to inform the development of mixed reality technologies as assistive aids.

Verena & Julia presented their work on Motion-Based Technologies. This project explores the perspectives of occupational therapists for the creation of exergames (i.e. Xbox Kinect, Ninentdo Wii) used in the rehabilitation of persons with dementia and MCI.

Louisa & Roxanna presented their work on Caregiving Technologies. Their project explores the creation of game-based technologies to increase engagement and adherence to care plans by individuals caring for persons with dementia and MCI.
