There are considerable gaps between the need for assistive technologies and the actual adoption of these technologies among older adults, although older adults are among the groups that most need assistive technologies. Consequently, research is needed in this area because older adults’ technology acceptance and influencing factors may differ depending on their level of frailty.
The objective of this study was to compare frail, prefrail, and robust groups of South Korean adults regarding their behavioral intention to use daily living assistive technologies and the affecting factors—namely, technological context factors, health contexts and abilities, and attitudinal factors—based on a comprehensive senior technology acceptance model.
儘管老年人屬於最需要輔助技術的群體，但對輔助技術的需求與老年人實際採用這些技術之間存在相當大的差距。因此，需要在這一領域進行研究，因為老年人的技術接受度和影響因素可能會因他們的虛弱程度而異。
本研究的目的是比較體弱、體弱和健壯的韓國成年人群體使用日常生活輔助技術的行為意圖和影響因素——即技術背景因素、健康背景和能力，以及基於態度的因素在一個全面的高級技術接受模型上。
