Summary
This study tests a program called VIVE-AT that teaches older Latinos with physical disabilities how to use assistive technology devices, like tools for dressing, cooking, and mobility. Researchers will enroll 76 participants from a low-income clinic in Puerto Rico, randomly assigning them to the program or a waitlist. The goal is to see if the program improves physical function and quality of life.

Active substance
Living the Advantages of Technological Assistance (VIVE-AT) program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, culturally tailored way to help older Latinos with disabilities live more independently and improve their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral, so benefits depend on individual engagement and may be modest.
