Elimelech, O. C., Ferrante, S., Josman, N., Meyer, S., Lunardini, F., Gómez-Raja, J., ... & Rosenblum, S. (2022). Technology use characteristics among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-cultural survey. Technology in Society, 71, 102080.
These data were collected in the context of the ESSENCE project, and are aimed at understanding technology use characteristics among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, the ESSENCE project aims at transforming the lessons learnt from the COVID-19 in a huge opportunity that exploits technology toward a deep evolution of the services targeting vulnerable populations: non- or pre-frail seniors (targets of this study), and children of the first years of primary school. To contribute to the public health response in the context of the ongoing epidemic, and preparedness for future emergencies, ESSENCE aims at boosting the creation of a new model of home-based care that relies on stimulation, remote monitoring, tele-assistance, and connection between users, families, and professionals. Indeed, it was important to understand technology usage in the target population.
Data were collected from Israel, Spain and France, in a multi-country design.
