The demographic change is significantly increasing the demand for elderly care in Germany. In this context, technological innovations can contribute directly and indirectly to improving the quality of life while maintaining autonomy, as well as supporting prevention and rehabilitation. However, social inequalities and consequences are often not taken into account in the development of digital technologies. Taking a participatory gerontological perspective, the question arises which factors influence the use of technology. The presentation based on my dissertation combines theoretical approaches of technology generations with those of social inequality. This allows for conclusions to be drawn about the acceptance, competence and use of technology by older individuals."}],"conference":{"end_date":"2024-09-04","start_date":"2024-09-02","location":"Frankfurt a.
