Home modification case-based application for online case capture and reuse

Home modification practice for people with impairments of ability involves redesigning existing residential environments as distinct from the creation of a new dwelling. While research on case-based design reasoning and healthcare informatics are well documented, the reasoning and process of redesign and its integration with individual human functional abilities remains poorly understood. Developing a means of capturing redesign knowledge in the form of case documentation online provides a means for integrating and learning from individual case-based redesign episodes where assessment and interventions are naturally linked.
