Together, We've Got This đŸ©”

Updated: Feb 15

Having been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in March 2022, there was and still are very few places where you can find what is out there to support you. So I wanted to create a space where I could share all of the things I have found useful. I hope they help you in supporting you in the early days of diagnosis and to help you maintain a quality of life.

Technology


iPhone Voice Control

Following a recent visit from environmental control, I was informed about the impressive technology offered by Apple for iPhone users. For anyone with restricted mobility, iPhone users are able to activate the voice control function which enables you to navigate and use your phone without having to touch it. Having struggled for a few months to not only pick up my phone, but to use it for social media, messages, telephone calls et cetera, this technology has been an absolute game changer. It provides me with a quality of life and independence. Further details can be found here.
