Mainstream Smart Home Technology–Based Intervention to Enhance Functional Independence in Individuals With Complex Physical Disabilities: Single-Group Pre-Post Feasibility Study

The ASSIST intervention demonstrated the immediate benefits of enhancing functional independence and satisfaction with MSHT among individuals with complex physical disabilities. While MSHT shows promise in addressing daily living needs at lower costs, barriers such as digital literacy, device setup, and caregiver involvement remain. Future work should focus on scalable models, caregiver engagement, and sustainable solutions for real-world implementation.

Abstract

The ASSIST intervention demonstrated the immediate benefits of enhancing functional independence and satisfaction with MSHT among individuals with complex physical disabilities. While MSHT shows promise in addressing daily living needs at lower costs, barriers such as digital literacy, device setup, and caregiver involvement remain. Future work should focus on scalable models, caregiver engagement, and sustainable solutions for real-world implementation.
