Description
Eunice Oladepe Ojo and co-authors study technology acceptance in low income older adults in a 2023 paper. Gadgets could power fall prevention, but cost and access hold poorer seniors back. One hundred twenty six adults over sixty tried three devices during fall risk checks: a balance board, a body composition meter, and an activity tracker.
Acceptance scores were highest for health conditions, middling for control and attitude beliefs, and low for technology anxiety. Acceptance rose with fall risk and education and fell with age. The authors read the mix optimistically: even low income seniors will use health technology when it serves them, so fall programs can build on devices if support and training come along.
