Description
Amanda Yee and four co-authors surveyed family caregivers in Quebec about using AI tools in elder care in a 2025 study. Smart tools promise help as the population ages, but the family members who would run them are rarely asked. The survey used a standard technology acceptance frame, widened for the care setting.
Of the panel invited, 199 eligible caregivers finished the survey. A forest model explained well over half the spread in intent to use such tools. What other people think mattered most: social influence topped the predictors by a clear margin. Seeing peers and family approve seems to sway adoption more than ease or usefulness alone. The authors say rollout plans should work through families and communities, not just product design.
