Title
Cognitive vs Chronological Age as Barriers to Using Wearable Activity Monitors in Older Adults
Abstract
Despite widespread availability, the use of smart devices is still very limited among seniors who could benefit from adopting these systems. This research-in-progress study draws on the theory of aging and subjective assessments of health, as well as information systems adoption literature to propose a theoretical model to explore the effects of older adults’ cognitive age on their disability perceptions which can influence their adoption of smart devices. The results will be achieved using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Potential contributions from this research to theory and practice are also outlined.
