Personas

Physical therapists are all specially trained at examining a patient from a physical viewpoint and determining how to improve the patient's physical capabilities. Physical therapists can both record and interpret information, and typically depending on age group can be separated into two personas:

The technology oriented group of physical therapists will easily adapt to new technology and new software environments either through physically engaging in the software or by a quick tutorial. They will quickly learn many of the software's features and will be able to intuitively know if something is not working correctly.

The non-technology oriented group of physical therapists have not always relied on computers for their daily work life. The learning curve will be steeper for this particular group of people, and will tend to require step-by-step instructions on how to operate the software's features. This group will be less accepting of the software, and will take longer to become accustomed to the change.
