artificial intelligence, elderly, care centers, technology, ai integrationAbstract
at present, awareness of progress in the field of artificial intelligence is driving new research directions on the effective integration of related tools across various spheres of activity. Although still in an initial phase of exploration, the adoption of ai adjacent instruments within elderly care centers may represent a primary focus among the interested parties. In this context, it becomes necessary to understand the needs of the integration process itself. Thus, the purpose of the current research is to outline, using the results of existing studies as a starting point, a preliminary ai adoption model for elderly care centers. Additionally, possible factors regarding the readiness for ai adoption in elderly care centers will be explored. The perspectives presented in this paper can aid in the development of effective strategies for integrating ai into senior care centers, while also laying the groundwork for future studies.
