Older adults’ attitudes towards using technologies for communication, entertainment, health and productivity: a cross-sectional study
More older Singaporeans were less positive towards health technology compared to technologies for communication, productivity, and entertainment. Increasing age remains the predominant variable, even after adjusting for confounders. Efforts to improve accessibility, usability, and perceived usefulness of health technologies may help enhance adoption among older adults.
