Abstract
Incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is increasing, and technology is being explored for early intervention and support. Classic theories of technology adoption predict useful and easy to use solutions will have higher adoption. The Fit Between Individual, Task, and Technology (FITT) model provides an alternate view by considering how well characteristics of users, technology, and tasks are aligned, enabling identified misalignments to be addressed to improve adoption. This article presents findings from two studies investigating opinions of people over 65 with MCI, about technology. First, feedback sourced from a literature review is mapped onto the FITT framework to illustrate that the individual-technology dimension has the least quality fit, with the majority of misalignment related to interaction, user experience, and ease of use issues. This is compared to interim analysis of semi-structured interviews with people over 65 with MCI, and health professionals, to illustrate there is consistency of feedback.
