Technological innovations changed people's daily lives. Wireless technologies, such as mobile phones and other portable gadgets, are becoming an essential part of each generation. With the increasing size of the elderly population around the world, opportunities for the older generation to use wireless technologies, such as gerontechnologies, are increasing. Older adults can use mobile health (mHealth) to receive healthcare at their doorstep. This study uses the UTAUT theoretical framework, extended to perceived ubiquity (PU), perceived trust (PT), and technology anxiety (TA), to investigate the elderly's intention to adopt mobile phone technology for healthcare (i.e., mHealth) in the socioeconomic environment of Pakistan. This study surveys 286 respondents from Islamabad, Pakistan. Structural equation modeling (SPSS version 25 and AMOS version 24) is used to analyze the data. Outcomes show that performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy, social influence (SI), facilitating conditions, PU, and PT have a positive significant relationship with mHealth adoption intention (AI). However, the results do not indicate the negative relation of TA with mHealth AI. Moreover, gender significantly moderates the relationship between PE and SI and mHealth AI. This study contributes comprehensive knowledge to the existing literature on gerontechnology adoption in the socioeconomic context of a developing economy.

移动医疗服务和老年人:评估巴基斯坦技术采用准备的决定因素

技术创新改变了人们的日常生活。移动电话和其他便携式设备等无线技术正在成为每一代人的重要组成部分。随着世界各地老年人口的增加,老一代人使用无线技术(例如 gerontechnologies)的机会越来越多。老年人可以使用移动医疗 (mHealth) 在家门口接受医疗保健。本研究使用 UTAUT 理论框架,扩展到感知普遍性 (PU)、感知信任 (PT) 和技术焦虑 (TA),以调查老年人在社会经济环境中采用手机技术进行医疗保健(即移动医疗)的意愿巴基斯坦。本研究调查了来自巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡的 286 名受访者。结构方程模型(SPSS 25 版和 AMOS 24 版)用于分析数据。结果表明,绩效预期 (PE)、努力预期、社会影响 (SI)、便利条件、PU 和 PT 与 mHealth 采用意向 (AI) 具有显着正相关关系。然而,结果并未表明 TA 与 mHealth AI 之间存在负相关关系。此外,性别显着调节了 PE 和 SI 与 mHealth AI 之间的关系。本研究为发展中经济体的社会经济背景下有关老年技术采用的现有文献提供了全面的知识。和 PT 与 mHealth 采用意向 (AI) 具有显着正相关关系。然而,结果并未表明 TA 与 mHealth AI 之间存在负相关关系。此外,性别显着调节了 PE 和 SI 与 mHealth AI 之间的关系。本研究为发展中经济体的社会经济背景下有关老年技术采用的现有文献提供了全面的知识。和 PT 与 mHealth 采用意向 (AI) 具有显着正相关关系。然而,结果并未表明 TA 与 mHealth AI 之间存在负相关关系。此外,性别显着调节了 PE 和 SI 与 mHealth AI 之间的关系。本研究为发展中经济体的社会经济背景下有关老年技术采用的现有文献提供了全面的知识。
