Research On Influencing Factors Of Intelligent Product Adoption Of Elderly Users Based On UTAUT

At present,the situation of population aging in China is very grim,with the characteristics of large elderly population base,fast aging,aging,empty nest and so on.With the rapid development of Internet,intelligent product and other new technologies,the information age has come.Modern information technology can meet all kinds of human life needs and medical needs.When the aging era collides with the information age,intelligent pension arises at the historic moment.Info rmation technology can not only provide more convenient,safer and more interesting life for the elderly,but also reduce the burden of providing for the aged for families and the government.The elderly are obviously vulnerable groups in the information a ge,and there are often some problems such as "do not understand,do not know how to use,do not want to use" in front of all kinds of intelligent products.From the point of view of the elderly,this paper studies and explores the factors that affect the adoption of intelligent products by the elderly,analyzes the current attitude of the elderly towards intelligent products,and puts forward targeted suggestions to improve the adoption rate of intelligent products by the elderly.This paper summarizes the research status of intelligent pension,the unified theory of technology acceptance and use and the adoption of information technology for the elderly to lay the theoretical foundation of this paper.Combined with literature analysis and unified theory of technology acceptance and use,a model of influencing factors of intelligent product adoption for elderly users is constructed.The model includes six influencing factors and three regulating factors.The influencing factors are performance expectation,effort expectation,perceived risk,social impact,convenience and self-efficacy,while the adjusting factors are age,economic status and health status.This paper uses the questionnaire survey method to conduct empirical research,the questionnaire survey is distributed through online and offline channels,a total of 205 valid questionnaires are collected.SPSS software was used to test the reliability and validity,descriptive statistical analysis,regression analysis and regulatory factor analysis.The s tudy found that performance expectation,effort expectation,social impact,convenience and self-efficacy all positively affect the willingness to use,and the willingness to use is still strong in the case of high perceived risk.The elderly have the high est score for performance expectation and the lowest score for effort expectation and self-efficacy,which means that most elderly people think that smart products are useful,but they are not easy to operate and do not recognize their own ability to use s mart products.The economic condition plays a regulating role in the path that the society affects the willingness to use,the health condition plays a regulating role in the path from effort expectation to use intention,while age has no regulating effect on the path from effort expectation to use intention.The economic situation has no regulating effect on the path of effort expectation to use intention,which means that the elderly with good economic condition are more likely to be influenced by their families and friends.Elderly people in good health think that smart products are easier to use,while whether smart products are easy to use has nothing to do with age and economic status.Based on the results of empirical research and from the perspective of influencing factors,this paper puts forward the following four suggestions to improve the adoption of intelligent products by the elderly: first and most importantly,to improve the information literacy of the elderly themselves;secondly,smart products need to be comprehensively reformed to adapt to aging;the whole people carry out "digital feedback",especially their families.Finally,the government should fully play a leading role in ensuring the implementation of hardware and software facilities and related policies,and supervise and supervise the whole process.Helping the elderly to enjoy the dividends brought by the intelligent age requires the joint efforts of the government,enterprises,communities,families and academic circles.
