There are millions of people in the United States that are currently having difficulties due to disabilities. The advancement of technology can either help alleviate these disabilities, or assist people with them. Technology can help people complete tasks that have become difficult. However, most of them are unaware that there is technology out there that can help them.
Currently, people who may benefit from assistive technologies would need to meet with a real person who is knowledgeable in what is available to help them find something that can help them live more easily or more comfortably at home.
This app will focus on user difficulties in the home. Using some general difficulties combined with a location in the home, the app will provide recommendations to make the user's life easier, safer, or more comfortable. It will also give useful tips and advice that don't require expensive devices. We hope that through using this app, people will find new ways to live their lives comfortably staying at home.
