| Abstract (ENG): |
In addition to health-related impairments of age such as poor health, cognitive disorders, and frailty, aging people also face the risk of encountering situations that can lead to social exclusion and have significant negative consequences for their independence and quality of life. The home healthcare initiative intends to reduce healthcare costs, enhance healthcare quality, and increase patient independence. Information technologies like healthcare smart-home-solutions become a significant role in this effort. For these to be successful and ensure the users’ acceptance, the focus must be on them. Although particularly older adults could benefit from eHealth, they often feel unable to use the technologies. Drawing on the technology acceptance model and health belief model, we seek to understand if older people would use smart-home-environments for home-based therapy. This paper presents a research model on eHealth adoption in a speech therapy context. |
