Abstract:The digital divide poses numerous obstacles for the acceptance and purchase of smart home products among the elderly. Therefore, the development of a technology acceptance model for smart home products specifically tailored to the elderly becomes exceptionally important. In order to construct a technology acceptance model for smart home products among the elderly that better meets user needs, providing a basis for the design of smart home products for the elderly. Initially, a semi-structured interview approach was employed to gather information on the usage patterns and requirements of the elderly regarding smart home products. Subsequently, utilizing grounded theory, factors influencing the technology acceptance model for smart home products among the elderly were distilled. Finally, building upon the original technology acceptance model and incorporating the explanatory power of multiple technology expansion models, a comprehensive technology acceptance model for smart home products among the elderly was developed. The resulting Elderly Smart Products Technology Acceptance Model (ESP-TAM) encompasses a total of 21 influencing factors. The introduction of this model provides designers and developers of smart home products with a real-time and precise investigative framework, facilitating the launch of smart home products that are more attuned to the lifestyle needs of the elderly.
