ABSTRACT
Faced with the obvious changes in the demographic structure, governments in all countries are actively developing long-term social welfare policies in response to the impact of the ageing population. Aging issues in Taiwan is becoming serious, as Taiwan already entered into an aging society in 2018 and become one of the fast aging country in the world. In this research, following the first phase research for identifying three senior participants' group namely as "Active Health," "Confident Health" and "Carefree Health" with different lifestyles, through workshop with semi-structured questionnaire, we analyze the acceptance and sustainability of three health promotion solutions, namely, S1 (10-minute exercise), S2 (smart bracelet) and S3 (health chatbot).
This research found that the elderly in Group A tends to use solution 3 (health chatbot) with high acceptance and sustainability with the triggers by "professionalism" & "self-demanding." And Group B tends to take the solution 1 (10-minute exercise) with high acceptance and sustainability triggered by "affect" & "interpersonal influences." C Group's opinions are more widely distributed. Based on our findings from experiment on three health promotion solutions, we will continue to make the next stage research on scale testing to validate the acceptance, sustainability and triggers for better understanding the health promotion behaviors for elderly in Taiwan.
