Older adults need help making informed decisions about adopting assistive sensor technologies for independent living. This study explored a framework to improve their decision-making process.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Human-Computer Interaction
Health Informatics

Background:

Assistive sensor technologies aim to support independent living for older adults.
Older adults face challenges in making informed decisions regarding the adoption of these technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the applicability of Bruce's framework for informed decision making (IDM) concerning in-home sensor technology use among community-dwelling elders.
To identify areas for enhancing the IDM framework for older adults.

Main Methods:

A semi-structured interview guide was developed based on the IDM framework.
A theory-driven coding approach was employed for data analysis.

Main Results:

Participants generally agreed with the framework's elements, though not all aspects were fully addressed.

Perceived usefulness of sensor technologies emerged as a key area for framework extension.

Conclusions:

The study offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals to enhance informed decision-making for older adults regarding sensor technologies.
Findings highlight critical elements of the IDM framework that can facilitate independent living for the elderly.
