隨著生活水準的提升、醫療技術日益進步，台灣出生率及死亡率逐年降低，高齡人口的比例持續大幅增加，預估2019年台灣將進入高齡社會，高齡化所產生的現象與問題也逐漸浮現。為了維護高齡者生活的品質與尊嚴，老人福祉科技產品的發展成為了產業界的機會，而網路與無線通訊技術也確實改變了人們的生活，其中包含了智慧家庭產品。智慧家庭讓高齡者能夠健康、安全、舒適的享受生活，提供家人、照護人員更方便、有效率的高齡者照護工具。然而，智慧家庭屬於較新穎之產品，思考如何使高齡者願意採用智慧家庭產品，將是產品設計者、家人、照護人員的首要課題。
本研究針對台北都會區，並以參與民生社區活動中心、就讀台灣科技大學及台北科技大學碩士在職專班的56歲以上高齡者作為研究對象，並透過網路與實體方式發放問卷，總計回收222份。本研究根據Chen & Chan (2014)所提出的高齡者科技接受模式，並採用與高齡者老化有關的變項，透過結構方程式探討與高齡者老化有關的變項，包含自我效能、焦慮、認知能力、知覺有用性、知覺易用性以及行為意圖之關聯性。
本研究結果證實自我效能、焦慮、認知能力、知覺有用性、知覺易用性以及行為意圖之關聯性，最後根據研究結果與結論，提供理論與管理意涵以及未來研究方向建議。

With the improvement of living standards and the advancement of medical technology, the birth rate and death rate in Taiwan have been declining year by year, and the proportion of the elderly has continued to increase. In order to keep the quality of lives and dignity of the elderly, the development of gerontechnology has become an opportunity for some industries, and the Internet and wireless communication technologies have indeed changed people's lives, including smart home. Smart homes enable the elderly to enjoy life in a healthy, safe, and comfortable way and provide families and healthcare service providers with more convenient and efficient care tools for the elderly. However, smart home belongs to products of emerging technology. How to make elderly willing to adopting smart home products will be the primary issue for product designers, family members, and healthcare service providers.
This study mainly focus on Taipei, urban area of Taiwan, and the respondents of this study all age 56 and above, and are mainly the seniors in Minsheng Community Center, and the senior studying in EMBA program of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology and National Taipei University. In addition, paper-based and online questionnaires were distributed, and a total of 222 questionnaires were collected. This study adopted senior technology acceptance model (Chen & Chan, 2014), and proposed a research model that includes age-related factors from STAM as antecedent conditions. We tested the relationships among gerontechnology self-efficacy, gerontechnology anxiety, cognitive ability, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intention with structural equation models (SEM).
The results of this study confirmed the relationships among gerontechnology self-efficacy, gerontechnology anxiety, cognitive abilities, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intentions. Finally, based on the findings, theoretical and managerial implications as well as suggestions for future research were provided.
