**5. Conclusion**

This study has investigated the challenges and possibilities identified by occupational therapists in relation to using a digitized tool on android tablets in clinical practice. We learned that despite the expectation of a common experience in using digital tools in work practices, the occupational therapists still experienced challenges when interacting with the technology. Moreover, they found it challenging when different sources of information were needed, as the technology only covered certain aspects of the problem. At the same time, the technology itself was considered from two different perspectives. On the one hand, technology was viewed as a barrier between the therapist and the client. On the other hand, it symbolized professionalism in interactions with the client and provided a focus for the therapist. After the study's completion, the findings were incorporated into yet another update of the software that reflected the user perspective. More specifically, the export function was completed and the general design was updated.

Some questions were answered by this study, while it gave rise to others. The study was not specifically focused on the role of technology in interactions with clients. However, information on this aspect emerged from the data gathered from both the diaries and the focus-group interview. More focused studies should be carried out to elaborate on this issue. An interesting perspective in this regard might be to investigate how clients experience the role of technology in their interactions with the occupational therapist. Lastly, this study involved a limited number of participants. Therefore, a follow-up study with more participants could provide a more fine-grained picture of the use of the mobile app.
