For example, according to a recent report that EU countries could save as much as 99 billion euros by 2017 if mobile technologies (m-technologies) are effectively reinforced and used in their healthcare systems (Europe, 2013).…”

This research was motivated by two considerations: (1) Mobile-based technologies have the potential to improve the delivery process of healthcare services, and (2) limited research has been implemented worldwide to focus on patients" perceptions towards the adoption of mobile healthcare, particularly in developing country environment. This research proposes an extended TAM model as a research framework to better understand the adoption process of mobile healthcare among patients. To serve the objectives of this study, a paper questionnaire was employed to collect data. Previously validated set of measurement items were used to develop the survey instrument. The proposed research model was validated using the PLS-SEM approach (WarpPLS 4.0) with a sample of 366 respondents. The results of the current study have provided adequate statistical support for the extended TAM model. With the exception of cost, all external variables incorporated in this model (including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, social influence, trust, and security/privacy) are found influential in shaping the patients" perceptions towards the adoption of mobile-healthcare technology. In addition, the current study demonstrates that demographic variables of age and gender have considerable moderating influence on the adoption of mobile technologies in healthcare systems in Jordan. The current research model can serve as a blueprint for future expansion of research in this vital field of study. Theoretical contributions, practical implications and future research directions of the study are also addressed.

Abstract. Continuous advances in medicine and wellness areas have contributed to an active and enjoyable aging. The use of technology in assisting elderly community is expected to have a positive contribution to support the diversity of required services that promote independent living. Most initiatives in this area are intrinsically focused on providing health-care services to senior citizens. However, a broader perspective of the aging process is required, which is conceptually described as "active aging". In this paper, we present some prominent technologies based on context-awareness and Internet of Things that may assist elderly people in different needs during a productive live. We exemplify the applicability of such technologies by describing a scenario in which daily activities are performed by an elderly assisted by her son.

Nowadays, the proportion in the older ages and the average life expectancy is increasing dramatically throughout the world. The health problems associated with wealthy and aged populations has been an issue of great concern to a broad and expanding number of people. Appropriate healthcare ITC-based technologies and services have to cope with this situation. Some specific challenges related to senior-centred care as well as impediments to acceptance of health-related digital approaches by elderly persons are underlined in this paper. The assistive technologies play a major role in increasing, maintaining, or improving the functional capabilities of seniors as well as in creating the opportunities for ageing in place. This paper aims to illustrate how an ongoing eHealth solution can be further upgraded by integrating some of the latest assistive technologies devices. A brief presentation of some representative devices (such as wearable sensors, mHealth apps and inhome monitoring system) highlights their benefits for the senior healthcare delivery. The current phase of the "Conceptual Model for a Platform of Integrated Services based on Cloud for Home Monitoring of Seniors affected by Dementia (MSI-MDD)" project is put in. A proposed extended architecture of MSI-MDD platform is provided emphasizing the benefits of the integration of the most appropriate assistive technologies for an improved remote senior-centered healthcare service delivery.
