Many Seniors Miss Out on Assistive Apps for Low Vision📱
A clinical trial found that rather than being unwilling to use them, most elderly patients are simply unaware that these tools exist.

To help get some answers as to why these apps are underutilized by patients over age 55, a group of researchers is currently conducting a randomized clinical trial (CARE) on several free visual assistive apps, including three called SuperVision+2, Seeing AI3 and Aira.
