OIB-TAC March Webinar: Accessing Health Metrics: Low and High-tech Solutions

Join OIB-TAC on March 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT, for our next webinar! Finding a device to take your body temperature or measure your weight is easy. Finding one that gives access to information without needing to look at the device’s screen is not quite so straightforward. In this webinar, Ricky Enger from Hadley guides us through exploring low- and high-tech solutions for accessibility, including tracking weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, body temperature, oxygen saturation, medication, and more. We’ll discuss features to consider, along with the skills needed to work reliably with each option.

This webinar is available for one ACVREP credit. Visit the following link to find instructions on how to obtain CE credits.
