Abstract

UNSTRUCTURED

Understanding the interplay between technology and social determinants of health becomes paramount for improving overall well-being. This qualitative study investigated the multifaceted relationship between technology and the social determinants of health in elderly individuals. The in-depth interview guide was used to gather a holistic understanding of the influence of technology on the elderly. The qualitative study offers insights into personal experiences, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities of technology that impact accessing the health care of the elderly. Using a Convenient sampling technique 30 elderly people were involved in this study. This research contributes to the discourse on aging and technology by offering an in-depth view of the intricate relationship between technology and social determinants of health in the elderly. The application of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology theory aims to understand and predict how the elderly accept and use technology. The findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions that bridge the digital divide, ensuring equitable access to technology resources and promoting digital literacy. Ultimately, this study informs policy formulation and intervention strategies that aim to enhance the health and quality of life of the elderly population in an increasingly technology-driven society.
