Technological acceptance of voice assistants in older adults - an online co-creation experience.

In the following paper, we present a pilot study based on an online co-creation experience with older adults which aims to study the technological acceptance in this population. Our goals were to assess older adults' technological acceptance of voice assistants and to explore the possibilities of using voice assistants in the daily lives of older adults. To do so, we performed an exploratory, mixed-method, multi-method study following co-creation sessions. Our results inform that some participants already have previous experiences with voice assistants but not for gaming, and our co-creation session contributed to the increased technological acceptance of voice assistants in older adults and see other possibilities in their uses.
