Abstract
Background and objectives: Camera-based active and assisted living (AAL) technologies are an eminent solution to population aging but are frequently rejected by older adults. The factors that influence older adults' acceptance of these technologies remain poorly understood, which may account for their lagging diffusion. This scoping review aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to older adults' acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies, with a view to facilitating their development and widespread dissemination.
Research design and methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, ACM Digital Library, Web of Science, and gray literature databases were searched from inception to June 2024. Publications that reported data on barriers and facilitators to the acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies among community-dwelling older adults aged 60 and above were eligible. Barriers and facilitators were extracted and mapped to the theoretical domains framework, thematically clustered, and narratively summarized.
Results: A total of 28 barriers and 19 facilitators were identified across 50 included studies. Dominant barriers concerned the technology's privacy-invasive, obtrusive, and stigmatizing qualities. Salient facilitators included the perceived usefulness of, and older adults' perceived need for, the technology.
Discussion and implications: Results inform practitioners' selection of strategies to promote older adults' acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies. These efforts should transcend the conventional focus on pragmatics and give credence to psychological, social, and environmental influences on technology acceptance.
期刊介绍：
Innovation in Aging, an interdisciplinary Open Access journal of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), is dedicated to publishing innovative, conceptually robust, and methodologically rigorous research focused on aging and the life course. The journal aims to present studies with the potential to significantly enhance the health, functionality, and overall well-being of older adults by translating scientific insights into practical applications. Research published in the journal spans a variety of settings, including community, clinical, and laboratory contexts, with a clear emphasis on issues that are directly pertinent to aging and the dynamics of life over time. The content of the journal mirrors the diverse research interests of GSA members and encompasses a range of study types. These include the validation of new conceptual or theoretical models, assessments of factors impacting the health and well-being of older adults, evaluations of interventions and policies, the implementation of groundbreaking research methodologies, interdisciplinary research that adapts concepts and methods from other fields to aging studies, and the use of modeling and simulations to understand factors and processes influencing aging outcomes. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across various disciplines, such as technology, engineering, architecture, economics, business, law, political science, public policy, education, public health, social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, and the humanities and arts, reflecting a holistic approach to advancing knowledge in gerontology.
