Wearable device adoption among older adults: A mixed-methods study

作者：

Highlights：

• Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed the adoption of wearable devices among older adults.

• Perceived complexity of devices (specifically interpreting the outputs) is the most salient deterrent of adoption.

• The effect of cognitive age on adoption is moderated by subjective well-being (SWB).

• Cognitive age negatively (vs. positively) impacts the older adults’ adoption intention when their SWB is high (vs. low).
