Elderly individuals
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Rising global diabetes prevalence in the elderly necessitates innovative healthcare solutions.
- Smart product technology integration offers a promising avenue for managing elderly healthcare.
- Ageing populations require tailored technological approaches for effective adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify key variables influencing elderly acceptance of smart products.
- To develop an ageing-oriented smart product design framework for diabetic elderly.
- To provide theoretical and practical guidelines for smart product development in geriatric care.
Main Methods:
- Literature review to identify technology acceptance determinants.
- Questionnaire survey to gather data on user perceptions.
- Expert review to validate the proposed design framework.
Main Results:
- Behavioral intention (BI) is the central factor for elderly smart product acceptance.
- Perceived ease of use (PEOU), usefulness (PU), enjoyment (PE), and self-efficacy (SE) directly predict BI.
- Appearance, function, and interface design (AD, FD, ID) indirectly influence BI via PEOU.
Conclusions:
- A novel smart product design framework for diabetic elderly was constructed based on identified relationships.
- The study enhances understanding of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) variables in relation to product design for the ageing population.
- Findings offer practical insights for developing user-centered smart healthcare products for elderly users.
