Experiences and Expectations of Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Older Adults Regarding eHealth Services: Qualitative Interview Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The emergence of eHealth services could contribute to improving individuals' quality of life by optimizing effective and efficient care. However, various challenges might limit some older adults' use of eHealth services.

Objective

This study aimed to understand the perspectives of older adults (aged ≥65 years) of different backgrounds regarding eHealth services. We explored the experiences of Iranian immigrant and nonimmigrant older adults with eHealth services to identify their perceived challenges, emotions, and wishes. Immigrants face more challenges, and there is a need to understand their perspectives in addition to those of nonimmigrants. Iranians are one important immigrant group, as their number is limited and their specific needs are less well understood
