What are your favorite tech devices that you use to help manage your RA? Amanda shared hers here (https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/?p=40556), but would like to know what is (or has) helped make an improvement from the community's perspective.
Alexa for what was mentioned in the article, My computer is able to make calls and do texts - the screen is bigger than on my cell phone and I don't have to hold it to my ear
before I retired my ergonomically correct mouse was invaluable. I was also privileged to be able to dictate my patient notes through my MacBook Air.

Hi . Glad you found the dictation program useful. Mind if I ask how accurate you found it to be? I'm sure different programs have different levels of reliability. We have an older neighbor who writes emails and texts via dictation and they come out pretty bad - not sure if it's the program or user issues (wish we could get her to do some editing before hitting send).

Definitely the ergonomic mouse....but how about that USB port in the recliner that charges your devices so you don't have to get up........

The recliner USB is excellent. I don’t have one but my brother does and I just love it!
