Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe older adults's perceptions and reactions to smart home technologies/applications at the Gator-Tech Smart Home. METHOD: Three focus groups of older adults with various impairments were held at the University of Florida Gator-Tech Smart Home. Eight technologies/applications were demonstrated and a structured discussion followed each demonstration. Content analysis was used to identify participants' perceptions of smart home technology. RESULTS: Overall, most participants responded favorably toward the smart door and voice activation than any other smart technology/application. CONCLUSION: The data is being used to modify current smart home applications and guide future smart technology/application design. Copyright.
