Description
Ittay Mannheim, Cynthia Neiertz, and Eveline Wouters test whether age bias shapes tech-based therapy offers in two thousand twenty-three. Digital tools could widen care for older adults. Yet therapists who view older patients as poor tech users may quietly withhold those options.
Seventy-eight physiotherapists in Luxembourg filled an online survey. Bias was scored on a scale about older adults using technology. Nearly a third admitted they had once skipped a tech-based treatment because of a patient's age. Those one step more negative on the scale were about twice as likely to have withheld it. Warm views of workplace tech also cut the withholding. The study urges training that targets this specific bias.
