Young Elderly and Digital Coaching : A Quantitative Intervention Study on Exercise Self-Efficacy
2020
Sport and wellness technology devices are becoming an increasingly relevant topic when discussing health and wellness. This study focuses on the use of a “digital coach”, within a specific population, young elderly people. This research explored how the use of a digital coach would affect self-efficacy related to physical activity and exercise among young elderly. Thisquantitative intervention study provided a digital coaching device to a group of young elderly people ranging from 61-78 in age for 10-weeks. It was found that a digital coach may be useful for this population, particularly in increasing their perceived confidence in exercising independently. However, the participants’ percept…
Changes in the Use Intention of Digital Wellness Technologies and Its Antecedents Over Time : The Use of Physical Activity Logger Applications Among …
2021
Physical inactivity has become a prevalent problem among elderly people. Although digital wellness technologies have been proposed as one promising solution to it, our understanding on the antecedents of the acceptance and use of these technologies among elderly people remains limited. In this study, our objective is to promote this understanding by examining the potential changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents over time in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. We base this examination theoretically on UTAUT2 and empirically on survey data that is collected from 99 Finnish young elderly users of a physical…
A Follow-Up On The Changes in the Changes in the Use Intention of Digital Wellness Technologies and Its Antecedents Over Time : The Use of Physical A…
2021
This study aims to further promote the understanding of the antecedents of the acceptance and use of digital wellness technologies among elderly people through a follow-up to our two prior studies, one which examines the potential longer-term temporal changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. We base this examination theoretically on UTAUT2 and empirically on survey data that is collected from 92 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application in three subsequent time points and analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PL…
Forming Sustainable Physical Activity Programs Among Young Elderly : A Combined ELM & UTAUT Approach
2021
There is consensus in health studies that regular physical activities of sufficient intensity and duration contribute to better health both in the short and long term. In an ongoing research program, we focus on getting the young elderly, the 60-75 years age group, to adopt and include physical activities as part of their daily routines. One reason for addressing young elderly is large numbers – in Finland health care costs for the elderly was 3.7 B€ in 2019 and will increase dramatically if the young elderly group is in bad shape when they reach the 75+ age group. We are finding out that systematic physical activities can serve as preventive health care for the young elderly. We are also l…
Applying UTAUT2 to Explain the Use of Physical Activity Logger Applications Among Young Elderly
2020
Digital wellness technologies have been proposed as a promising way to promote the levels of physical activity and to solve the prevalent problem of physical inactivity among elderly people. In this study, we propose and test a research model for explaining the acceptance and use of these technologies in the case of the young elderly segment (people aged 60–75 years) and physical activity logger applications. The proposed model is theoretically founded on UTAUT2, and it is empirically tested by using the data collected from 115 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application and analysed with partial least squares based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). We find …
Sustainable Physical Activity Programs for Young Elderly : A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach
2020
Physical activity (PA) programs are useful to help young elderly stay in good shape for their senior years. These programs should be sustainable, as this would keep the users active for months and years. A PA program should build on activities that users find meaningful and/or best suited for their history of sports and exercise as well as their present physical capacity. The challenge is to make the best selection from a (long) list of possible activities. We worked out a method to help young elderly to build a sustainable PA program from a set of activities that experts have identified as contributing to health and fitness among young elderly. The method builds on the Analytical Hierarchy…
Technology Architecture as a Driver for Business Cooperation: Case Study - Public Sector Cooperation in Finland
2019
The current premise in the enterprise architecture (EA) literature is that business architecture defines all other EA architecture layers; information architecture, information systems architecture, and technology architecture. In this paper, we will study the ICT-cooperation between eight small and mid-sized municipalities and cities in Southern Finland. Our case demonstrates that the ICT-cooperation is possible without business cooperation and that ICT-cooperation can be a driver for future business cooperation. The findings challenge the current premise of the guiding force of the business architecture and encourage organisations’ ICT-functions to seek daringly cooperation with other org…
Kognitiivisen suorituskyvyn tehostaminen teknologian avulla
2014
Renko, Roni Kognitiivisen suorituskyvyn tehostaminen teknologian avulla Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2014, 25 s. Tietojärjestelmätiede, Kandidaatin tutkielma Ohjaaja: Moilanen, Panu Ihmisen kognitiiviselta suorituskyvyltä vaaditaan yhä enemmän nykyaikaisessa tietoyhteiskunnassa ja kognitiivisen kuormituksen kasvu vaikuttaa jo ihmisen evoluutioon. Suorituskykyä on kuitenkin mahdollista tehostaa normaalien rajoitusten yli muun muassa lisäämällä teknologiaa esimerkiksi ympäristöön tai suoraan ihmiskehoon. Tässä tutkielmassa pyritään selvittämään, mitä teknologioita voidaan käyttää kognitiivisen suorituskyvyn tehostamiseen ja mitä haasteita niiden yleistymiseen liittyy. Tutkielmassa kogniti…
Luokan uusi työkalu? : alakoulun opettajien kokemuksia älytaulusta
2012
Tiivistelmä Leskinen, Kaisa. LUOKAN UUSI TYÖKALU? – Alakoulun opettajien kokemuksia älytaulusta Kasvatustieteen pro gradu -työ Jyväskylän yliopiston kasvatustieteen laitos, 2012. 57 sivua. Tässä pro gradu -työssä on selvitetty alakoulun opettajien kokemuksia älytaulun käytöstä. Muuttuvassa yhteiskunnassa myös koulun on pysyttävä muutoksessa mukana. Yksi alakoulujen näkyvimpiä opetusteknologisia uudistuksia ovat viime vuosina olleet älytaulut. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia, millaisena työkaluna opettajat älytaulun kokevat, kuinka opettajat älytauluja käyttävät, sekä selvittää, millainen on heidän älytaulun käyttönsä ja pedagogiikkansa välinen suhde. Tutkimus toteutettiin haastat…
