Seat Capture supports keeping a personal seating list for use in university lecture rooms and other venues with ad hoc seating.
To use, venues generate and position unique QR codes on each seat in a lecture room/venue. Suggested format is “Venue name: Seat number”. After being scanned, Seat Capture will add the current date and time to each scan in a seat capture list.
NB. Seat Capture does not generate QR codes. There are plenty of QR code generators online.
Visitors to the venue use Seat Capture to scan the QR code by their seat. Each scan is kept in a seat capture list on their device for 28 days. Each capture will automatically delete itself from the list (and device) 28 days later.
Seat Capture does not use the Internet and only stores data locally on the device.
Seat Capture provides users with their own digital seating diary to refer to or share as needed.
Available for free on the iTunes App Store .

This is then followed by a 3 minute rest before looping again for another 4 rep cycles. The total time for this workout would be 13 minutes and 20 seconds.

Hospital Talk
Hospital Talk™ is an app to help hospital patients with communication difficulties to get their message across to staff and carers.
It is based on the doctoral research of Dr Bronwyn Hemsley on hospital care and communication for patients with severe communication impairment.
Hospital Talk is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication app as it turns an iPhone into a talking communication aid for use in hospital and long-term residential care.
Hospital Talk has large buttons with pictures on three pages that have pre-recorded messages about care in hospital.
Pre-recorded statements are provided with both female and male voices. The three talking pages enable people to communicate: basic care needs (Basic Needs), information needs (Info Needs),
and social closeness (Social Needs). You can also use the Hospital Talk app to record your own or another person's voice for your own messages.
Hospital Talk App was designed and developed by Shamus Smith in collaboration with @BronwynHemsley, at
The University of Newcastle (Australia). Content is based on the doctoral research of Dr. Hemsley funded by NHMRC, Australia (Grant #358844). Follow @HospitalTalkApp
