Abstract

The smartphone is now essential part of daily life (business and personal) across all age bounds. The usage of it can play a part in helping the elderly in several ways in terms of healthcare information. This paper aims at developing a model for identifying substantial factors that affect elderly people's intention toward adopt smartphones. A questionnaire instrument is developed to define factors that influence smartphones adoption via elderly people. The questionnaires are distributed in terms of paper-based questionnaires individually in Iraq. 225 completed questionnaires are gathered. Using a Cronbach Alpha, the test of reliability is conducted on the obtained data. The result indicates that four factors (socioeconomic influence, facilitating conditions, performance expectancy and effort expectancy) affect older people's intention to embrace smartphones.
