FUNSAT — Functional Skills Assessment & Training

The premier platform for assessing and training technology-based everyday tasks.

The Challenge

The ability to function and do everyday tasks is often a significant challenge for older people and people with cognitive impairments. The increasing use of technology amplifies this challenge!

The FUNSAT tool bridges the “real world functioning skills” gap between daily life, functional skills and technology.

FUNSAT can help people regain their prior functional skills or assist them with the acquisition of new functional skills such as those needed to manage emerging and existing technologies.

This takes place through a proprietary & evidence-based, functional skills assessment and training software platform, which is cloud based and can be delivered on computers (both PC and Mac) as well as on tablets (both iPads and Android).

Technology is pervasive; flexibility and adaptability are required to engage in many activities of today’s digitized world. These days, performing functional tasks requires new, consistent learning and adapting to change. While many younger people who have been exposed to technology from an early age find it easy to master functional skills related to technology, those with less experience and confidence in this area often struggle to learn and master basic tech-based functional skills tasks.

Functional skill capabilities are today crucial to aging successfully and living independently. However, it can be difficult for some people to learn skills like using an ATM or a ticket kiosk, managing finances, downloading an app, getting prescriptions filled, or scheduling appointments. These challenges can interfere with their safety and well-being, medical treatments, financial health, social support, and general quality of life. It’s easy to become overwhelmed, or frustrated when trying to learn or maintain these skill levels as technology advances.

The FUNSAT tool can help improve confidence and make it easier to gain a grasp of many functional and technological skills that are used in the world every day. By using FUNSAT, users will be able to keep up with emerging technologies as they advance, thanks to their functional skills training. FUNSAT can also help people with basic entry-level functional skills abilities (available in both English and Spanish language versions) skills as needed.

The FUNSAT tool uses a cloud-based software platform (Microsoft Azure),. It’s available on both PC’s and Mac’s, as well as Android and iOS tablet devices. This provides a flexible environment for users for both functional skills assessment and training.
