Older Adult’s Technology Acceptance Model for IoT-Based Assistive Technology-An Initial Framework
摘要
A range of health impairments is more common in the ageing population, which imbalances their health and well-being. As a result, strategies that promote better brain health and well-being in older age are an urgent public health priority. In this context, assistive technology (AT) has been identified as a potential solution for the provision of elderly care. The stay of older adults at home can be prolonged and made comfortable with the aid of assistive technologies and remote monitoring. Such technologies in general have the capacity to enhance the quality of life and fill in the gap between caregiving and healthy ageing.However, the potential of these technologies is yet to be utilised by the ageing population due to a lack of acceptance, usability, and trust. In this paper, the aim is to review the factors that affect technology adoption and build trust to-wards ATs and provide healthy living for the ageing population. The paper pro-poses an initial framework for the older adults’ technology adoption model (OATAM). The OATAM models integrate data analysis and modelling, remote monitoring, cloud computing, data security, trust and ethics along with older adults’ needs and preferences to deliver a trusted application aimed towards healthy ageing.
