Older persons’ experiences of one-to-one in-home support for their digital needs: A qualitative study of a Digital Coach service

Older persons found one-to-one in-home support to be the optimal form of support for their digital needs. The support gave them the best conditions to achieve digital competence, and without the support, would have felt stranded. Efforts to support older persons' digital competence should be based on the older persons' own digital needs and be provided in their home.

Abstract

Older persons found one-to-one in-home support to be the optimal form of support for their digital needs. The support gave them the best conditions to achieve digital competence, and without the support, would have felt stranded. Efforts to support older persons' digital competence should be based on the older persons' own digital needs and be provided in their home.
