What are we doing in SMART-AGE?
In this package of measures we deal with the acceptance of the technologies used in the project. For example, we are investigating how the technologies used differ from each other and which factors can have an influence on perceptions and attitudes. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of the acceptance of technology use among people of older age.

What is our goal in SMART-AGE?/ What do we want to investigate in SMART-AGE?
Our goal in SMART-AGE is to get a better understanding of possible influences on study partners' perceptions and attitudes toward technology. In particular, we want to compare the used intelligent assistance systems to identify potential similarities and differences. In addition, we investigate how the acceptance can be influenced by emotions from the environment of the study partners as well as personal perceptions of influences from society.
