CareLog

 
Capture and access technologies are particularly applicable to the monitoring, diagnosis, and intervention treatments of behavioral and learning disabilities in children. Behavior and learning data are pieces of information that can be captured, measured, mined and analyzed over time. Furthermore, the members of care teams are particularly motivated to do these activities, which may or may not be the case in traditional capture and access scenarios, such as meetings and classrooms. Capture and access applications created as a part of a cyclical system of diagnosis and treatment are also an interesting and special case wherein, the data captured in the past, once accessed and analyzed, affects the treatment plan and often the data to be captured in the future. CareLog is a mobile capture and access application for recording behavioral data in informal settings.
