Technology Acceptance for Physical Activity in South Asian Indian Older Adults
Summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the barriers older adults face in accepting and adopting technology to improve their health and physical activity. Adopting technology may improve your quality of life and help foster independence. Currently, there is little to no representation of South Asian older adults in the literature related to technology acceptance. The research team will ask you to complete a semi-structured interview that is 30-60 minutes long in person.
