摘要
This paper provides a detailed discussion regarding the attitudes, benefits, and barriers to adoption of health IT for low income, minority, elderly populations in a community-based affordable housing setting. Results show that despite challenges to adoption of technology amongst minority populations, senior residents will adopt technology if they understand the benefits of these technologies for improving their health and for remaining independent, thereby enabling them to age-in-place.
