Enhancing elderly care with smart homes: A comparative study of use and payment willingness
The study reveals that income capacity, health transitions, and age barriers critically determine smart home adoption among older adults. Policy implications include tailored digital literacy for older cohorts, subsidies to improve affordability, and integrating smart home consultations into hospital discharge planning. These targeted interventions can bridge the adoption gap and enable aging populations to access smart home health monitoring benefits.
