  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.'
