Informing the Development of Reminiscence Technology for Older Adults: A Prospective Study of Acceptance Determinants.
Article in Healthcare technology letters. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Digital health technologies offer promising avenues for supporting the psychological health of the ageing population. Reminiscence therapy, a non-pharmacological intervention, holds significant potential when delivered via digital platforms. This study investigates the factors influencing the acceptance and intention to use a digital reminiscence platform among older adults. We employed an online questionnaire administered to 56 participants aged 60 to 86 years. The study integrated constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), alongside an assessment of functional reminiscence types. Our findings indicate that perceived usefulness and hedonic motivation are the primary predictors of older adults' intention to use the digital reminiscence platform. Furthermore, functional reminiscence types, specifically integrative and instrumental reminiscence, showed strong associations with higher platform acceptability. These findings highlight the importance of designing digital reminiscence tools that align with older adults' psychosocial goals and provide meaningful, enjoyable experiences. In particular, perceived usefulness, hedonic motivation, and the relevance of instrumental and integrative reminiscence functions emerged as key acceptance factors. These insights will inform an ongoing co-design process to develop a user-centred platform that supports memory sharing, personal meaning-making, and intergenerational connection.
