Title
Useful or Easy-to-Use? Knowing What Older People Like about Near Field Communication Technology.
Abstract
The goals of this study are two-fold: 1 To develop a novel concept of a light system with the use of Near Field Communication NFC-enabled technology, Bluetooth and Raspberry-PI. This new system is known as NFC Light System NLS. 2 To set up an experimental design to examine the influence of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on older adults' behavioral intention to use the NLS. Our proposed system was empirically tested with 33 older adults in Malaysia. Our findings show that perceived ease of use appears to be the primary factor for the older adults to use the NLS. Interestingly, perceived usefulness was not a significant predictor of older adults' behavioral intention to use the NLS. From the practical viewpoint, this study offers a new insight for gerontechnology manufacturer and developers to focus their design efforts on easy-to-use attribute that are desired by older adults.
