Abstract EN
This study investigates the anticipated psychosocial impact of present web-based e-health services and future mobile health applications among older Swedes.
Random sample’s of Swedish citizens aged 55 years old and older were given a survey containing two different e-health scenarios which respondents rated according to their anticipated psychosocial impact by means of the PIADS instrument.
Results consistently demonstrated the positive anticipation of psychosocial impacts for both scenarios.
The future mobile health applications scored more positively than the present web-based e-health services.
An increase in age correlated positively to lower impact scores.
These findings indicate that from a psychosocial perspective, web-based e-health services and mobile health applications are likely to positively impact quality of life.
This knowledge can be helpful when tailoring and implementing e-health services that are directed to older people.
