Abstract

The Augmented Reality Home Assessment Tool (ARHAT) is a mobile-based application that utilizes 3D-capture technology on iPhones to assess home environments, addressing barriers to aging-in-place. We assessed the usability of the ARHAT to facilitate its successful adoption and implementation within real-world settings. A descriptive survey design was employed wherein, three groups of participants- occupational therapists (n = 5), housing professionals (n = 2), and aging adults and/or their family caregivers (n = 9) found the ARHAT to be easy to use and useful. With slight modifications, the ARHAT has the potential to transform home assessments and improve safety and practicality of aging-in-place in the United States.
