“…The participation of physical activities could contribute to a healthy social life style. Most studies have targeted eight older adults' problems: (1) dependent living, (2) fall risk, (3) chronic disease, (4)dementia, (5) social isolation, (6) depression, (7) poor wellbeing, and (8) poor medication management [8]. Findings from studies that target common age-related health problems could provide clues for policy makers, carers and ATs vendors when deciding on the suitability of ATs for older adults.…”

2 Study HighlightsWhat was already known on the topic  ATs might contribute to an increased sense of safety and security at home  There are barriers to the adoption of ATs What this study added to our knowledge  A general lack of knowledge about the technology needs of elderly people and the different stages of the aging process  Barriers to the adoption of ATs from top critical concern are: privacy, trust, functionality/added value, cost, and ease of use and sustainability for daily use, perception of no need, stigma and fear of dependence  The so-called "gerontechnologies" invokes negative attitudes about ATs acceptance Abstract.Background: Older people generally prefer to continue living in their own homes rather than

Introduction: Relevant determinants of adoption of eHealth are needed in order to understand future usage. Aim: To investigate the anticipated psychosocial impact of present and future eHealth services and discuss how psychosocial factors can impact the readiness for eHealth services among older Swedes and reflect upon instruments for measuring eHealth acceptance. Method: The Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Device Scale (PIADS) measured the psychosocial impact of eHealth services as illustrated in pictures of a set of events of eHealth services that may reasonably occur in the present and the future. The PIADS scale and the scenarios were administered via a randomly selected sample from the Swedish population aged 55-105. Results and Discussion: Older Swedes have, from a psychosocial perspective, positive expectations regarding eHealth services. The PIADS scale could be a useful supplement to acceptance measurements in the context of eHealth. Using animated illustrations to depict eHealth services, together with the PIADS scale, can generate findings that are generalizable across technologies. The dimensions adaptability, competence and self-esteem could be relevant determinants of adoption of eHealth.

“…In a recent report dementia, depression and chronic diseases were listed among the most significant reasons to seek new ICT tools to support elderly people in their everyday living [14]. The report encouraged other researchers to pay attention to design and develop assistive technology and to include caretakers and other stakeholders into the environment as using the technology.…”

“…In their study about robotics, general ICT, sensor technology, telemedicine, medication dispensing device and videogame as assistive technologies ICT researchers listed chronic diseases third as problems of the elderly people [14]. The other listed seven problems were dependent living, fall risk, dementia, social isolation, depression, pool well-being, and poor medication management.…”
