“…The literature critiques TAM and HTA for being insufficient in assessing telecare acceptance, as important aspects are not covered 5-7, 9, 10 . Perceived ease of use and usefulness of technology are demonstrated to be important for user acceptance and use of technology, but not sufficient for understanding telecare acceptance 35,[46][47][48] . To a certain extent perceived usefulness of technology does affect telecare acceptance 5,17,18 , however, it is not sufficient.…”

Introduction: Telecare is important in future governmental health and social plans. Telecare acceptance is one of the factors that appears to be vital for uptake and thus important to understand. Different technology acceptance models have been applied but judged to be insufficient in assessing telecare acceptance with older people. The purpose of this paper is to review and evaluate why the existing technology acceptance models fall short when applied to telecare and propose an improved approach for assessing telecare acceptance.

Mobile technologies offer the potential for enhanced healthcare, especially by supporting self-management of chronic care. For these technologies to impact chronic care, they need to work for older adults, because the majority of people with chronic conditions are older. A major challenge remains: integrating the appropriate use of such technologies into the lives of older adults. We investigated how older adults would accept mobile technologies by interviewing two groups of older adults (technology adopters and non-adopters who aged 60+) about their experiences and perspectives to mobile technologies. Our preliminary results indicate that there is an additional phase, the intention to learn, and three relating factors, self-efficacy, conversion readiness, and peer support, that significantly influence the acceptance of mobile technologies among the participants, but are not represented in the existing models. With these findings, we propose a tentative theoretical model that extends the existing theories to explain the ways in which our participants came to accept mobile technologies. Future work should investigate the validity of the proposed model by testing our findings against younger people.

“…As for the public discourses fostered by the European Union, (future) good "old age" should include smart homes that facilitate aging in place. Thus, the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes the necessary infrastructure and society will rely on permanent connectivity in search of an enhanced quality of life-among others, see [1,2]. Mobile telephony is the current basic technology that enables the IoT and, therefore, approaches to aging digital futures should include this particular technology.…”

Abstract:Starting from Beck's concept of reflexivity, the paper investigates differences in risk perception regarding wireless technologies expressed by older people living in Romania and Catalonia (Spain). We combine evidence from conversations held with older individuals in different research projects together with an ad-hoc media content analysis. Our research reveals that seniors' discourses were consistent with the media prominence of different types of risks in each country. Results show that seniors' discourses on health risks relate to the way the media discussed them, with Romanian participants, in contrast to older people from Catalonia, expressing no concerns about electromagnetic radiation. Also, Romanian seniors were more concerned about the risk to others-younger family members-whereas seniors in Catalonia were more concerned about their own risks. Seniors from Romania made more references to the country's development. We discuss aging futures in societies with different risk perceptions. As the media presents the risks associated with digital technologies in differing lights, people's perceptions are formed accordingly. Also, in countries where technology is perceived as good per se, the techno-optimistic discourse would be reinforced not only by the media but also by the groups exposed to the highest social pressure towards technology adoption-for example, seniors.
