Despite a rapid increase in the capabilities and uptake of these technologies, gaps remain in understanding the main barriers to their usage.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This systematic review investigated the barriers and facilitators to the use of AT in the care of older adults.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Six electronic databases were searched from January 2011 to March 2024. Primary studies were included if they used qualitative methods reporting findings related to barriers or facilitators to the implementation of AT (eg, ambient and wearable sensors, alarms, telehealth or mobile health [mHealth]) for older adults (from the perspective of either carers or older adults) in community settings. All data were screened independently by two reviewers. Study quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP). Data from each included study were synthesized using thematic synthesis, before barriers were mapped against the domains of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Ninety-five studies were included in the review. The number of studies published in the field of barriers to AT use has increased 3-fold post-COVID-19 in comparison to the previous decade. Ten barriers\u2014privacy, cost, insufficient knowledge, fear of misuse, usability, poor functionality, perceived lack of need, stigma, and lack of human interaction\u2014were identified, as well as three facilitators\u2014awareness of health benefits, targeted training, and user-centered design. Persistent barriers relating to all domains of the TAM were identified, with the majority of these relating to the \u201cbehavioral intention to use\u201d domain (cost, privacy, stigma, and fear of misuse). The majority of studies had a moderate\/high risk of bias.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n There remain distinct barriers to sustained usage of AT for the care of older adults, particularly concerning adoption as defined by the TAM. Further studies investigating the acceptability of ATs are needed to increase the understanding of optimization strategies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/73917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]],"date-time":"2025-09-17T00:15:05Z","timestamp":1758068105000},"page":"e73917-e73917","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Patient and Carer-Related Facilitators and Barriers to the Adoption of Assistive Technologies for the Care of Older Adults: Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5819-6347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephen","family":"Malden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0307-1440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kris","family":"McGill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4191-4880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruce","family":"Guthrie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9241-8970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"Frost","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7375-4776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan D","family":"Shenkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3701-9650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adanna","family":"Ezike","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9730-8874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bethany Kate","family":"Bareham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1703-3664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stewart W","family":"Mercer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4653-2697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline","family":"Pearce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2958-2230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cara","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7934-2892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ian","family":"Underwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4051-3356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Vines","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0951-1873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sue","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4071-9434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amy","family":"O'Donnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10076","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1323","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)32381-9","article-title":"Future life expectancy in 35 industrialised countries: projections with a Bayesian model ensemble","volume":"389","author":"Kontis","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"issue":"10033","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2145","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)00516-4","article-title":"The world report on ageing and health: a policy framework for healthy ageing","volume":"387","author":"Beard","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"R3","unstructured":"HM Government.
