Building on Meera et al. (2023), our latest study (under review) reveals notable results! Participants found the ARHAT highly useful and shared suggestions for increasing its accessibility. This is vital to encourage acceptance and ensure a seamless user experience.
Fields et al. (2023) explored ARHAT's potential with experts and aging adults. The tool received praise for user-friendliness, and for identifying home barriers effectively. Expert feedback was carefully incorporated into the tool's enhancements. aging.jmir.org/2023/1/e44525
