Introduction
Occupational therapists juggle multiple responsibilities daily: conducting ADL assessments, setting therapeutic goals, planning sessions, prescribing exercises, and monitoring progress. Without a centralized system, this can lead to inefficiencies, missed data, and suboptimal patient outcomes. RehabADL Studio is designed to solve these challenges by providing a comprehensive intelligence board tailored specifically for occupational therapy.

The app is built as a single-file HTML application, making it incredibly easy to deploy and use on any device with a modern web browser.

Who is it for?
RehabADL Studio is designed for occupational therapists working in various settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private practices, and home health care. It is equally valuable for solo practitioners and large teams, as it supports multiple clients and provides a shared view of caseloads.
Why RehabADL Studio is Unique
Unlike many other therapy management tools, RehabADL Studio does not require an internet connection or user accounts. All data is stored locally in an encrypted IndexedDB, ensuring privacy and compliance with data protection regulations. There is no AI or mock data—just a reliable, functional tool that respects the therapist's workflow.
Privacy and Security
The encryption of local data means that sensitive patient information never leaves the device. This is crucial for healthcare providers who must adhere to strict confidentiality standards. The app also allows for easy backup and export of data, so therapists can securely store records.
User-Friendly Interface
The premium rehabilitation UI is clean and intuitive, with a navigation system that makes it easy to switch between modules. The dashboard provides at-a-glance insights, and the charts are interactive, allowing therapists to drill down into specific data points.
