Abstract
This qualitative study aims to examine the challenges and barriers older people face in technology usage and the experiences that motivate them to achieve active ageing using technology. A total of 34 older people and 12 professionals participated in the focus group or individual interviews. Technology could enhance older people’s access to health information and social connections, which benefited their overall well-being. Policymakers and community stakeholders are suggested to support them in learning digital technologies. Social workers play a crucial role by tailored communication skills while promoting digital inclusion for older people.
