Investigating older adults users' willingness to adopt wearable devices by integrating the technology acceptance model (UTAUT2) and the Technology Readiness Index theory.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: With the continuous advancement of wearable technology, smart wearable devices are increasingly recognized for their value in health monitoring, assessment, and intervention for the older adults, thus promoting intelligent older adults care. This study, based on the theoretical framework of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) model, aims to identify and explore the key factors influencing older adults consumers' willingness to adopt smart wearable devices and their impact mechanisms. Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect valid data from 389 older adults respondents. Empirical analysis validated the model's applicability and explored the key factors influencing acceptance. Results: Factors influencing the use of smart wearable devices by the older adults include performance expectancy ( Discussion: The study confirms that integrating the UTAUT2 model and TRI theory effectively explains the acceptance of smart wearable devices among older adults consumers, emphasizing the importance of enhancing digital health literacy in the design and promotion of smart health devices. The findings provide guidance for developers, increasing the acceptance and usage rate of these devices among the older adults.
