Clinical Trial Description

This study is a cross-sectional survey. 165 to 300 participants will be recruited to complete a questionnaire. For each product theme that they are familiar with, they will rate anonymously the perceived importance of the evaluation indicators on a 5-point Likert scale, give reasons for their ratings and suggest revisions. Participants will be recruited through convenience sampling in 3 subgroups, including (1) members of Gerontechnology Application and Testing Working Group under Gerontechnology Platform, (2) successful applicants of Innovation and Technology Fund for buying gerontechnology products under the 9 themes, and (3) visitors of Gerontech and Innovation Expo. It is expected that 35% participants will be recruited in subgroup 1, 5% in subgroup 2, and 60% in subgroup 3. Gerontechnology Platform will invite (1) its members of Gerontechnology Application and Testing Working Group, who are the Users, Caregivers, Staff and Suppliers of gerontechnology products, to fill in the questionnaire online. 3 email reminders will be sent to remind them to complete the questionnaire. (2) The list of successful applicants of Innovation and Technology Fund who applied for the product themes covered in the 9 Evaluation Frameworks will be downloaded from the Social Welfare Department website and their Staff will be invited to fill in the questionnaire online. (3) In Gerontech and Innovation Expo, which is a local exhibition that provides a platform for stakeholders to discuss and collaborate for broader adoption of gerontechnology, research staff will approach all visitors of the Gerontechnology Platform booth. The visitors who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be invited to complete the questionnaire. To ensure the validity of their responses, they will only answer the questionnaire items of the themes they have known, have used, or are most interested. For each product theme that they are familiar with, they will rate anonymously the perceived importance of the evaluation indicators on a 5-point Likert scale, give reasons for their ratings and suggest revisions. Their voluntary written consent will be sought before they complete the questionnaire. Each questionnaire will take around 5 - 10 minutes. ;
