Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals perceived usefulness and ease drive smart health watch adoption in older adults, highlighting the need for accessible design and ongoing user support.

Key Points

To examine older adults' acceptance and attitudes toward digital health wearable devices in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic using an extended Technology Acceptance Model.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey of Korean adults aged 56 years and older residing in Busan (N=170).
Applied an extended Technology Acceptance Model framework evaluating perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, facilitating conditions, and social influence against user attitudes and intention to use.
Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and facilitating conditions demonstrated a statistically significant positive impact on older adults' attitudes toward using smart health watches.
Attitude toward smart health watch use significantly influenced behavioral intention to use the technology, while the association between social influence and attitude was not statistically significant.
