Older adults experience difficulties in their daily lives as their health deteriorates.
Gerontechnology (the compilation of terms “gerontology” and “technology”) helps in
the resolution of problems faced by older adults by improving their quality of life and,
above all, developing tools to facilitate the access of older adults to all goods, services
and infrastructure, which is also the understanding of the term used in this paper. The
article mainly aimed to assess the selected gerontechnology that improved the quality
of life of older adults in terms of different criteria, namely, innovation, demand, socioethics,
usability, and functionality. It also analysed whether the respondent's age and
gender had any influence on the assessment. Care robots were chosen from among
the variety of gerontechnologies. The survey was conducted in the first quarter of 2018
and involved 643 people from different voivodships of Poland. Two types of
questionnaires were designed. The electronic form of the survey was distributed using
social media and snowball techniques, and the paper form was sent by traditional post
to all nursing homes in Poland.
