Abstract

The digital divide is an increasingly pressing issue that affects older adults, as they are less likely to have the opportunity and ability to use digital technology due to individual and institutional factors. This research aims to explore the factors that lead to the digital gap and analyzed the individual factors of financial ability, physical ability, and traditional thinking, as well as the institutional factors of electric product design, medical environment, social relationships, and hospital services. To solve this problem, this research proposed two solutions: smartphone design enhancement and using AI technology. Smartphone design should be intuitive, with clear instructions that do not require a complex operation, and voice recognition technology should be incorporated to eliminate the need for complex operations. Additionally, AI technology can transform healthcare services into conversational features that are easy for older adults to use and understand. These solutions could improve digital literacy, health literacy, and enable older adults to access healthcare and better manage their health.
