Recently, several applications that allow access to communication and stimulation functionalities using digital interactive television (DiTV) have been developed. The use of the television interface to access digital services seems to help meet several accessibility and usability needs of OAs. However, its use entails other challenges related to different dimensions (organizational, technological, ethical, etc.). This study aims to identify the factors that enable or hinder the use of DiTV by OAs living in geriatric institutions. A qualitative interview case study was conducted in three French geriatric facilities. A total of 25 semi-structured interviews were carried out with residents and care professionals, between February and April 2022, to identify enablers and barriers to DiTV use. Data were processed using a thematic deductive analysis inspired by a multidimensional Health Technology Assessment model. The analysis showed that DiTV use may be limited by organizational (e.g., workload), technological (e.g., ergonomic issues), human (e.g., health issues), ethical (e.g., privacy), and safety factors (e.g., frustration due to technical problems). A summary of these factors and five recommendations for DiTV implementation in geriatric settings are presented in this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20031813","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T02:04:35Z","timestamp":1674093875000},"page":"1813","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Barriers and Enablers for the Use of Digital Interactive Television in Nursing Home Settings: An Interview Case Study with Older Adults and Professionals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"B\u00e9rang\u00e8re","family":"Naud\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9, Maladie d\u2019Alzheimer, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Broca Living Lab, CEN STIMCO, F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne-Sophie","family":"Rigaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9, Maladie d\u2019Alzheimer, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Broca Living Lab, CEN STIMCO, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Service G\u00e9riatrie 1&2, Centre M\u00e9moire de Ressources et Recherches Ile de France-Broca, AP-HP, H\u00f4pital Broca, F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laila","family":"Kamali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Royal College of Surgeons, D02 YN77 Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1598-9144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maribel","family":"Pino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9, Maladie d\u2019Alzheimer, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Broca Living Lab, CEN STIMCO, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Service G\u00e9riatrie 1&2, Centre M\u00e9moire de Ressources et Recherches Ile de France-Broca, AP-HP, H\u00f4pital Broca, F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Smith, D.B.D., Meshkati, N., and Robertson, M.M.
