Responsive and usable on iPad
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Many clinicians are using ipads these days. right now, the app looks decent on an iPad (shiny is responsive if done right). However, it requires key-presses to advance. To use the app on an iPad right now, clinicians would need a Bluetooth keyboard.
Potential solutions:
- create a "tablet mode" where the clinician can hit a correct or incorrect button and a next button on the screen
- would this affect assessment fidelity? essentially it would/could be providing feedback during testing
- the buttons could have a response-agnostic icon (e.g. a cat and a fish icon)
- it could be a single button which could be tapped once or twice with a subtle visual feedback on whether correct or incorrect is selected.
other ideas?
I agree that providing feedback might be suboptimal. Is it possible to create an app so that the clinician controls the ipad form their phone...?
Some googling doesn't come up with any pre-built ways to do this. I could imagine a method of saving/querying a database, but I don't think this is a great idea because I don't want to store any data and I suspect it would be complicated to build.
What if the clinician could "swipe" the card left/right or up/down if they're using an iPad?

Swiping up for correct vs. down for incorrect seems like it could be intuitive for clinicians and sufficiently subtle to avoid giving feedback to most patients. Or is a one-finger vs. two-finger tap a thing?
Swiping (or tapping) sounds like a nice compromise.
I'd say that it would be like using Tinder but I suspect that might not be helpful. This is good and I'll prioritize this once we have a functioning beta app out
I'm going to close this for now; will return to it after the beta version come sout.
