Bridging gaps between three-generation families´ Needs and Attitudes towards e-health technologies

Adopting e-health technologies may be one of the ways to ease the burden of hospitals, where nurses and doctors may be deployed more efficiently to ensure better patient-centered care. The adoption of e-health not only depends on the government, industry players and the current state of technology. Part of the successful adoption also relies on the users´ need for it and their attitude towards using e-health in their daily routine. In this paper, we will share the qualitative research findings of 30 participants (10 families). The findings are based on in-depth interviews in users´ homes. With these, the Human Factors team hopes to bridge the gaps between three-generation families´ (youth, adult, elderly) needs and attitudes towards e-health technologies. This is in view of having designers, researchers and engineers to develop e-health technologies that would be used and adopted by users (three-generation families) in their daily routine.
