Abstract
- Abstract With the accelerating pace of global aging, ambient assisted living (AAL) technology is expected to ease the conflict between medical supply and demand resources in long-term home care. The key to the general adoption of AAL technology is to capture the differentiated product demand of a consumer class that is heterogeneous in socio-demographics and preferences. In this study, we proposed a tailored technology acceptance model to examine the factors affecting AAL technology acceptance from multi-consumer perspectives based on a sample of 451 respondents obtaining the differences in influence paths of AAL technology acceptance for different consumer groups. Almost all subgroups regarded perceived usefulness as having a decisive role. Family caregivers, women, and single-generational households were more concerned about perceived ease of use than matched groups, and higher educated groups and multi-generational households took price value as the priority objective. This research provides guidelines for promoting AAL technology in management practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
