Abstract:
Technology Enable Care (TEC) products and services are expected to be increasingly used by an ageing global population. TEC has the potential to enhance the health and lives of older people. However, factors affecting their acceptance, adoption and use need to be understood. Two models, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Health Information Technology Acceptance Model (HITAM) can help to identify acceptance, adoption and use factors. For the current research, two qualitative workshop studies with a Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) panel (N=20), and a TEC Expert group (N=18) were undertaken to identify these factors. The workshops revealed several key issues of importance to the PPI and TEC workshop respondents. These include privacy, costs, and usability of TEC. The use of TAM and HITAM in the workshops proved useful to identifying factors affecting the acceptance, adoption and use TEC by older people.
