MyGuide Cloud

The MyGuide Cloud app was designed to provide tools for programming and playing personalized multimedia Guides that present information and collect user-reported experiences about activities, thought processes, and social interactions. MyGuide Cloud administration includes Guide library organization, user-controlled access permissions, Guide building, Guide scheduling, account settings, and data reporting of Guide building and playing utilization and user responses during Guide play.

Use MyGuide Cloud to create custom, multimedia content for detailed step-by-step guides or simple checklists that can be played on demand or on a schedule from a mobile device on Android, iOS, or web platforms by authenticated MyGuide users with proper permissions. MyGuide Cloud can also be accessed by medical devices that accommodate access to Guides.

===Guide Building===

Guides consist of one or more pages that make up one or more sequences, or groups of pages. Guide building tools offer plugins to customize each page with information, prompts, instructions, questions, response options, and more by building digital resources like text, images, GIFs, audio, video, and slideshow, each with many options for size, font, position, and visual effects. Advanced Guide building tools include structure and sequencing for each Guide that can be pre-programmed to respond to user input during Guide play, such as skip a page, show an image, begin another sequence, go to a website, etc.

* Text: Add text to any Guide in a variety of sizes, fonts, colors, visual effects, and interaction with text-to-speech.

* Choices: Design a question or prompt with response options, each with or without text and image, and settings that allow the user to choose one or multiple response options when the Guide is played.

* Image: Select images accessible by your device to add to Guide pages, with settings that include color filter, alignment, and fit to screen.

* Slideshow: Select multiple images accessible by your device, with settings that include duration of each image and fit to page.

* Timer: Add a timer to any Guide page, with settings that include duration, if and how it appears on the Guide page during play, if the user can manually advance to the next page before the timer expires, and auto advance to the next page when it expires.

* Audio: Add an audio file to any Guide page, with settings including a visual indicator during play, auto play, and loop or repeat.

* Color: Pick up to 3 background colors with choice of directional gradient.

* List View: Add multiple plugins inside a scrolling list on a page.

* Grid View: Add multiple plugins inside of a scrolling grid on a page.

===Guide Utilization===

Guides owned by the user are privately stored in a personal MyGuide Cloud workspace and Guides owned by other workspaces or organizational libraries are securely accessed by authenticated users with appropriate permissions to play them. The user can swipe, tap, or use voice commands (given device capabilities) to play each Guide. MyGuide Cloud features are interoperable with several medical device and accessibility functions.

MyGuide Cloud offers a variety of sharing permissions that allow multiple users to collaboratively build or edit guides as well as monitor reports generated when users play them, including push notifications and utilization logs. Utilization data and user-selected or entered responses during Guide play may be shared with other users authorized access permissions by the user in real-time, completed reports, and/or custom notifications. Users manage the permissions of other users in the workspace or library that they own with play, edit, view reports, and admin permissions.
