Inclusive Kitchen Design for Older Adults: Generative AI Visualizations to Support Mild Cognitive Impairment

arXiv:2604.13203v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) affects 15-20% of adults aged 65 and older, often making kitchen navigation and independent living difficult, particularly in lower-income communities with limited access to professional design help. This study created an AI system that converts standard kitchen photos into MCI-friendly designs using the Home Design Guidelines (HDG). Stable Diffusion models, enhanced with DreamBooth LoRA and ControlNet, were traine
