Attitude and perceptions of older and younger adults towards ambient technologyfor assisted living

Healthcare systems are  challenged  by  the  rapidly  increasing  num-ber  of  older  adults  requiring  services  to  main-tain  at-home  independence.  Technology,  such  as ambient sensing, has been identified as one potential solution to address these issues. This study’s aim is twofold: (1) to explore the gener-al perception of older and younger adults about the  transformative  role  technology  can  play  in  their health care as they age, and (2) the genera-tion of health solutions in home care.
