Factors Influencing Health Care Technology Acceptance in Older Adults Based on the Technology Acceptance Model and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology: Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) are widely used to examine health care technology acceptance among older adults.
