The present article, published in Nature Aging, gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging.
A national survey was conducted with a random sample (N=2,121) including men and women from three generations (30-39, 50-59 and 70-79 year-old persons) in Sweden.
The generations shared some attitudes toward and acceptance of technologies for active and healthy aging. However, what kind of technologies are preferred to support active and healthy aging as well as reasons for using certain technologies differed by generation. The findings could help guide the development and implementation of technologies for active and healthy aging throughout the aging process.
