Cocreation, Implementation, and Evaluation of Two Digital Innovations to Improve Home Adaptation for Older Adults: Protocol for an Action Research Pilot Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Aging in place is a priority for many older adults but often requires home adaptations when temporary or permanent physical disabilities arise. It reduces the risk of falls, improves health-related quality of life, and enhances social participation. Two new digital innovations aim to support home adaptation: Hygiene 2.0, which facilitates the adaptation of baths and showers, and MapIt, which provides 3D mapping of the environment. Objective: This action study aims to cocreate and evaluate the implementation of the Hygiene 2.0 and MapIt innovations and to measure their impact on supporting older adults who experience difficulties with personal hygiene or are in the process of adapting their homes. Methods: This study uses a multiple case study approach with a mixed convergent design, guided by the i-PARIHS (integrated-Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) framework. We will conduct semistructured interviews with 66 participants, including 8 older adults-informal caregiver dyads (or individual older adults when no informal caregiver is available) for MapIt only, 20 dyads for Hygiene 2.0 or the combined use of Hygiene 2.0 and MapIt, and 10 assistive technology advisors across all innovation scenarios. A cost analysis will be conducted from both the Quebec public system and patient perspectives. Qualitative data and mixed data integration will be analyzed using analytical questioning. Results: This study was conducted within the framework of, and with financial support from, the Conclusions: This study will provide valuable insights into how innovative digital tools can facilitate home adaptations that promote aging in place. By assessing their implementation, usability, and cost-effectiveness, the findings are expected to inform best practices, guide decision-making for health and social care stakeholders, and ultimately contribute to improving the quality of life and autonomy of older adults.
