Potential advantages, barriers, and facilitators of implementing a cognitive orthosis for cooking for individuals with traumatic brain injury: the healthcare providers' perspective.

CONCLUSIONS: Health care providers' perspectives will help develop implementation strategies to facilitate the adoption of COOK within homes and clinical contexts for individuals with TBI and improve the next version of this technology. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION COOK shows a high potential for increasing independence and safety during meal preparation with its sensor-based monitoring of the environment and cognitive-based assistance, for adults with TBI. Comprehensive clinical assessments to identify individuals' therapeutic goals, clinical characteristics, and living environments are necessary to facilitate the deployment of COOK.
