If you have a smartphone, you can use it as a clinical tool! For example, there are apps that you can download and use as a goniometer to measure ROM. There is an app with the DSM-5 criteria to look up different mental illnesses. There's an app called PocketPharmacist that you can use to look up different medications. These are just a few to name. There are so many more! All of these apps would be very beneficial for an OT and I would highly suggest checking it out!
Here's a link with some of the apps and descriptions:
