“…Additionally, manufacturers and service providers should organize training aimed at communicating concrete benefits of these devices and also provide sustainable technical support to caregivers, medical professionals, and patients with dementia so as to allay their fears concerning confidentiality and security of their information. Also, these devices should be modeled in such a way that it reduces the anxiety levels of these patients with dementia by through the use of more user-friendly and easy-to-use interfaces, as this has been shown to significantly reduce elders’ anxiety about technology use 71 in developing countries. Finally, the findings could assist stakeholders in other developing countries in their planning processes and introduction of health-care wearable devices among patients with dementia, since the model used for this study allows for findings to be generalized.…”

Purpose: This study aims to examine the factors affecting caregivers’ acceptance of the use of wearable devices by patients with dementia by extending the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model with 2 additional constructs: resistance to change (RC) and technology anxiety (TA). Methods: A structured online questionnaire was developed and distributed to caregivers who have either dealt previously with or were currently taking care of patients with dementia in sub-Saharan Africa. The selection of countries for the study was purely based on the availability of caregivers of patients with dementia and their readiness to take part in the survey. Questionnaire data from 350 respondents were analyzed and the hypothesis tested using partial least squares based on structural equation modeling. Result: The results of the extended model show that social influence, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and behavioral intention (BI) all had P < .05, thus were statistically significant in explaining the perceived BI and actual use of health-care wearable devices among patients with dementia as reported by caregivers. However, P value for RC and TA was greater than .05, hence were insignificant.

Mobile banking has become increasingly important to society; however, not all members of society adopt and/or use it as much as others: older adults, the disabled and lower-income families remain behind in their use and adoption of this service. This finding helped us recognise a research gap and led us to form our primary aim: to understand and explain the factors that influence the adoption, use and diffusion of mobile banking among one of those groups in particular, older adults, in the UK. To form a theoretical understanding, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the surrounding literature in the area and proposes a conceptual framework that can be used for future research. The implications of this research for academia and businesses are also provided in this paper.

“…Secondly, future intervention should ensure the long-term and sustainable technical support available for Iranian users. Establishing a web-based support system (Zhou et al, 2007) and call centers for troubleshooting are highly recommended for this purpose. Thirdly, the possible financial burdens that Iranian users may encounter with should be taken into account by government facilitators; hence, they should make efforts to enable users to utilize Internet with cheaper cost.…”

Existing theories in the technology acceptance and Internet adoption fields have examined the adoption among users, which can be classified into two categories: technological and behavioral perspectives. In this paper, the authors propose an integrated household Internet adoption model combining both perspectives to provide a holistic view on the subject. For this purpose, the three primal models of technology acceptance and usage behavior, the technology acceptance model (TAM), theory of planned behavior (TPB), and uses and gratifications theory (U&G), are selected to construct the integrated model. In this way, based on the dimensions of the studied theories, specific constructs are defined to integrate these dimensions according to their similarities and appropriateness. The relationship between the proposed model’s constructs are then hypothesized based on the literature findings, and examined in a case study of household Internet adoption among Iranian households. Also, structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to illustrate the relationships’ coefficients between proposed model constructs, and derived implications for the Internet adoption among Iranian households are discussed based on the research findings.
