Abstract:
The objective of the study was the numeric investigation of the existing literature containing the factor trust in automation as well as assistance systems for overall requirements for older people. Therefore, a systematic literature review with a total of 150 dissimilar keyword-combinations based on three different descriptors in three bibliographic online databases was performed. The study revealed that 18 articles deal with trust in healthcare or assistance systems but several of them only superficially. None of the identified studies focused explicitly on trust in Ambient Assisted Living despite of the increasing market relevance in the last decade. Older people as target group for qualitative and quantitative research in this field are detected and partially examined. Obtaining access to older persons’ trust in automation in general and Ambient Assisted Living work systems need further research.
