人口老龄化对经济和社会具有深远影响，需要更多的卫生和社会服务。全球老年人口正在稳步增长，这带来了挑战。面对这一现实，投资于老年人的医疗保健意味着在提高他们的幸福感的同时将支出降至最低。这些战略旨在支持家里的老年人，但资源差距带来了挑战。重要的是，社会经济因素影响人们的生活质量和福祉，因此它们与特定需求相关联。社交辅助机器人(SARS)和监测技术(可穿戴式和环境传感器)在帮助日常生活方面前景光明，老年人表现出接受它们的意愿，特别是在满足他们的需求的情况下。尽管对技术的认知进行了研究，但社会经济上处于不利地位的老年人的偏好和需求仍然没有得到充分的探索。这项研究调查了SARS和传感器技术如何帮助低收入老年人，促进他们的独立和整体福祉。为此，招募了低收入的老年人( ≥ 65岁)，并开展了一系列焦点小组，以了解这些技术如何满足他们的需求。专题分析结果强调了五个关键方面，特别是：1)促进和监测积极的生活方式，2)帮助处理日常事务和提供身体援助，3)减少孤立和孤独，4)关于监测技术的考虑，以及5)影响SARS和监测技术使用和接受的障碍。在SARS和传感器设计中应考虑这些维度，以有效满足用户的需求，提高他们的生活质量，并支持照顾者。
Population ageing has profound implications for economies and societies, demanding increased health and social services. The global older adult population is steadily growing, presenting challenges. Addressing this reality, investing in older adults’ healthcare means enhancing their well-being while minimizing expenditures. Strategies aim to support older adults at home, but resource disparities pose challenges. Importantly, socio-economic factors influence peoples’ quality of life and wellbeing, thus they are associated with specific needs. Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) and monitoring technologies (wearable and environmental sensors) hold promise in aiding daily life, with older adults showing willingness to embrace them, particularly if tailored to their needs. Despite research on perceptions of technology, the preferences and needs of socio-economically disadvantaged older adults remain underexplored. This study investigates how SARs and sensor technologies can aid low-income older adults, promoting independence and overall well-being. For this purpose, older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) with low income were recruited, and a series of focus groups were conducted to comprehend how these technologies could address their needs. Thematic analysis results highlighted five key dimensions, specifically: 1) promote and monitor an active lifestyle, 2) help with daily errands and provide physical assistance, 3) reduce isolation and loneliness, 4) considerations regarding monitoring technologies, and 5) barriers affecting SARs and monitoring technologies usage and acceptance. These dimensions should be considered during SARs and sensors design to effectively meet users’ requirements, enhance their quality of life, and support caregivers.
