## 5 Workshop Results and Analysis
### Dot Voting Activity Results
These findings align with the agency construct identified earlier in the qualitative analysis, where residents expressed concerns about how technology might influence their independence and how they perceive societal expectations around its use. A noteworthy observation is that residents did not perceive compatibility as a significant issue. When this is considered alongside their responses regarding performance expectancy and loss of independence, it suggests a portrait of individuals who value their independence and possess a strong sense of agency. Despite their pre-frail status,these residents appear to maintain a confident and self-directed approach to adopting new technologies. Additionally, residents reported higher levels of ageism/prejudice and technology anxiety compared to specialists, indicating that they might face more psychological barriers when engaging with new technologies. This could be due to societal stereotypes about ageing, which may impact their comfort and willingness to embrace technological solutions. Interestingly, while residents scored relatively high on privacy concerns, the current questionnaire data, supported by qualitative feedback, suggested that privacy was not their primary concern compared to other factors such as usability and support needs. This suggests that while privacy is an important consideration, it may not be as critical a barrier to technology acceptance for this group as it might be for other demographics. Finally, the lower mean value for access to support among residents highlights a potential area for intervention. Ensuring that adequate support systems are in place could significantly enhance their overall acceptance and effective use of technology, helping to mitigate some of the anxieties and challenges they face. Figure 11 represents the distributions of the responses to our technology acceptance questionnaire. The analysis of the questionnaire responses from both medical and care specialists and residents reveals varying levels of interest and confidence in adopting smart home assistive technology. Both groups generally show a moderate interest in incorporating these technologies into daily life, with specialists being slightly more optimistic about the potential benefits. Residents, while also recognising the potential for enhanced daily activities, may have more reservations, reflecting a cautious approach to new technologies. Confidence in operating smart home technology for simple tasks is relatively high among both groups, indicating that usability is not a major barrier. However, residents may require more support and training to feel fully comfortable with these technologies. Specialists appear more confident, likely due to their professional experience with similar technologies, which could make them important advocates and trainers for residents. Ageism and feelings of exclusion are not prominent concerns for either group, suggesting that age-related prejudice does not significantly affect their attitudes toward technology adoption. However, concerns about losing independence as they age are more pronounced among residents. This fear could either motivate the adoption of assistive technologies as a means of maintaining independence or create resistance if the technology is perceived as diminishing personal autonomy.
