Exploring the functional quality attributes of smart home for older adults based on qualitative research and Kano model.

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
Background: This study investigates the functional attributes of smart home for older adults across different age groups, aiming to identify features that fulfill users' needs and give convenience, thereby offering scientific guidance for future smart home designs for older adults. Methods: Employing a multi-stage approach, this study commences with semi-structured interviews with older participants in China, analyzing transcripts using NVivo to guide questionnaire design. Subsequently, a questionnaire survey is administered to older adults in China, with the data processed using the Kano model incorporating the Better-Worse index with sensitivity coefficients. Results: The findings distinctly demonstrate divergent preferences among different age groups. Specifically, for older adults aged 60-69, health, life and entertainment functions emerge as top priorities, identifying two indicators classified as Must-be quality, five as One-dimensional quality, and one as Attractive quality. In contrast, among those older adults aged 70 and above, emphasis lies predominantly on health, life and emotion functions, identifying one indicator categorized as Must-be quality, six as One-dimensional quality and two as Attractive quality. Conclusion: This study highlights the existence of significant variations in the needs of different older adult age groups. Through the classification of functional attributes of smart home for older adults, development strategies can be precisely formulated to better meet the needs of different age groups.
