Research on the Influencing Factors of the Continuous Use of Smart Health Care Products for the Elderly Based on Attachment Theory
Based on attachment theory and technology acceptance theory,this paper explores the potential psychological mechanism of the elderly's willingness to establish a lasting relationship with smart health care products.It is found that product attachment is an important factor driving the elderly to continue to use smart health care products;perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are intrinsic factors that promote product attachment among the elderly,and the early elderly and the younger elderly pay more attention to the use val-ue of the products,while the older elderly pay more attention to the convenience of product use;The product use support provided by children is an external push to promote the product attachment between the early eld-erly and the younger elderly;individual characteristics such as high income and high educational level have little impact on the continuous use of smart health products for the elderly.Enterprises should promote the es-tablishment of emotional connection with elderly users to a strategic level,children should increase the emo-tional interaction between parents to help the elderly digital access,and the government should promote a ma-ture development of smart health care products.
