Assistive technologies in healthcare: utilization and healthcare workers perceptions in Germany
Our study suggests that HCWs may want to incorporate ATs into their workflows as they see how, in theory, these technologies would improve HCW's efficiency, resulting in better patient care. However, to realize this potential, efforts in ATs integration and accessibility are essential. Given this study's modest sample size and generalizability limitations, further research is needed to explore the adoption, implementation, and impact of ATs in healthcare.
