  text: 'This paper reports on a study analyzing the attitudes of users towards different
    types of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services. The study explores the acceptance
    and terms of use of large interactive screens for the most common applications
    types: health, social and convenience services. In order to understand the impact
    of user diversity, we explored age, gender, health status, social contact, interest
    in technology, and the reported ease of use as well as their relation to acceptance.
    Using the questionnaire method, 30 women and 30 men between 17-95 years were examined.
    The results show that users are not yet very familiar with the vision of smart
    technology at home and report a considerable diffidence and aloofness towards
    using such technologies. Persons with many social contacts and a high interest
    in technology show the highest acceptance for electronic services at home. Astonishingly,
    the results for the different applications were insensitive to gender and age,
    which indicates that the precautious attitude towards AAL applications represents
    a universal phenomenon. Consequently, acceptance criteria as well as users'' needs
    and wants should be seriously considered in order to successfully design smart
    home technologies.'

  text: 'While pervasive healthcare systems bear the potential to provide patients
    with a new quality of medical homecare, the complexity of such systems raises
    fundamental questions of behavior, communication and technology acceptance. This
    is especially important, as users of future healthcare systems will be increasingly
    characterized by diversity. Relying only on highly experienced and technology-prone
    user groups, which might have been typical users in the last decades, is not sufficient
    anymore. Rather, elderly users, users with a completely different upbringing and
    domain knowledge, and ill or handicapped people will have to use the systems.
    Today, the understanding, in which way physical, emotional and cognitive abilities,
    caused by individual learning histories and health states, may impact the usage
    and acceptance of pervasive healthcare technologies, is restricted. This research
    contributes to this topic by investigating the acceptance motives of aged users
    with different health states regarding three different implementation concepts
    for medical technologies: medical technology implemented in mobile devices, smart
    environments and smart clothing. Using the questionnaire method, a total of 82
    users between 40 and 92 years of age were examined regarding their usage motives
    and barriers with respect to the different technology concepts. Overall, it was
    revealed that acceptance issues and users'' needs and wants should be considered
    in order to successfully design new medical technologies.'
