“…Our research team conducted a survey of people aged 40-79 in Japan about their use of technology to support their own care needs. Our cross-sectional study of 3,261 respondents revealed some interesting results about the acceptance of care technologies (Itoh et al, 2021). We found acceptance of care technologies differs between Basic Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and types of care technologies, with highest acceptance rates reported by women with higher education or income and experiences of informal caregiving (Itoh et al, 2021).…”

We found acceptance of care technologies differs between Basic Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and types of care technologies, with highest acceptance rates reported by women with higher education or income and experiences of informal caregiving (Itoh et al, 2021). The experiences of informal care may help people consider the burdensome situations of family caregiving, which may lead to a more favourable attitude toward technology in a care setting.…”

“…Some of them may still face difficulties in navigating technology in their daily lives, which is particularly true for those with lower education levels and socioeconomic status. Hence, increased efforts to integrate technology into health‐related interventions would likely promote better engagement and participation in older adults (Itoh et al, 2021; Riegel et al, 2021).…”

Dance programs promote physical and psychosocial well‐being. However, studies focusing on the experiences of older adults in dancing are limited. This study aims to develop a community dance program (CDP) for older adults at senior activity centers in Singapore, as well as to explore the older adults' and student instructors' experiences of the CDP. A qualitative inquiry of semi‐structured and in‐depth focus group discussions was conducted. In total, 20 older adults and 10 student dance instructors participated in the study. Student instructors who were undergraduate students from a dance society were trained in how to provide step‐by‐step instructions for the older adults. An inductive approach of thematic analysis was undertaken. Three main themes were identified: (i) promotion of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health with dance; (ii) imagination is power—travel through dance; and (iii) further enhancement of the dance program. The themes highlighted the prominence of CDP in improving memory, physical health, mood, and social interactions—thus mitigating the risk of social isolation. The findings illustrated the benefits of CDP in cultivating intergenerational bonds amongst older adults and student instructors.

“…In addition, a high percentage of caregivers are spouse of the stroke survivors, who are mostly similar age as the stroke survivors, hence, the caregivers’ acceptance to the use of technology‐based interventions may vary (Biehals et al, 2019; Chan et al, 2021; Ugur & Erci, 2019). The older caregivers may require more time and support to adapt to the technology (Itoh et al, 2021; Rodrigues et al, 2021).…”
