To analyze the prevalence and usage of smart health and eldercare devices among middle-aged and older adults in Yunnan Province, and to compare disparities across different groups.
A stratified random cluster sampling method was employed. Face-to-face questionnaire surveys were conducted among adults aged 45 and above from 6 prefectures (cities) in Yunnan Province, yielding 2 595 valid questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Stata 15.1.
The prevalence of devices ranked as follows: smartphones (83.55%), smart TVs (77.88%), video surveillance (36.30%), etc., with fall alarms being the lowest (1.19%). A notable decline was observed from device ownership rate to usage rate and proficiency rate, indicating an “ownership-usage-proficiency” efficacy decay. Smartphones had the highest prevalence (83.55%) and regular usage rate (60.42%), while smart TVs had the highest proficient usage rate (49.83%). Fall alarms had the lowest rates in prevalence (1.19%), regular usage (0.35%), and proficient usage (0.19%). Significant differences in device prevalence, regular usage rate, and proficient usage rate were found across ethnic and age groups, whereas no significant differences were observed between genders.
The prevalence and use of smart health and eldercare devices (except for smart cell phones and TVs) among the middle-aged older adults in Yunnan Province are low overall, and there are significant ethnic and age differences.
