Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Digital Inclusion

Background:

  • Older adults often avoid digital devices due to inexperience and fear of failure.
  • SmartCards were developed as an intuitive interface for tablet computers, tailored for seniors with limited digital literacy.
  • The study addresses the need for accessible technology to bridge the digital divide for the elderly population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the SmartCards-Tablet-System's impact on digital communication use among older adults.
  • To assess the system's effects on users' loneliness, autonomy, cognitive function, and overall wellbeing.
  • To determine the suitability and acceptance of adapted digital interfaces for elderly users.

Main Methods:

  • A three-month trial period was conducted with seniors in retirement homes and those receiving home assistance.
  • A control group was used for comparative analysis.
  • System suitability and acceptance were evaluated through user engagement metrics.

Main Results:

  • High acceptance, duration, and frequency of use were reported in both experimental groups.
  • Significant improvements in cognitive ability were observed after three months of system use.
  • No significant effects on loneliness, autonomy, or wellbeing were detected.

Conclusions:

  • Seniors are capable and eager to adopt modern digital devices when interfaces are user-friendly and non-stigmatizing.
  • Adapted technology can empower older adults to utilize digital communication and the internet.
  • The SmartCards-Tablet-System facilitates enhanced connection between seniors and their families.
