Elderly People, Technology Acceptance, Intention of UseAbstract
This article shows the results of a study developed to generate and apply a structured and reliable information collection instrument to determine the level of acceptance and use of technology by older adults; for which some of the existing technology acceptance models were analyzed, taking into account the needs and the context in which the study was developed. Due to the characteristics of the participants, focus groups were used as a tool to obtain precise, clear, and simple information. The results allow us toobserve that, in order to measure the level of acceptance and the intention to use a new technology, it is necessary to identify the appropriate variables in order to accurately determine the behavior and feelings of the users.
