Background The aim of the project S-Mobil 100 is to develop and implement a prototype of an internet-based, generation-appropriate mobility platform in the model region Siegen-Wittgenstein. In the context of an empirical preliminary study, use of technology, experience with technology, general attitudes towards technology, general technology commitment, and the willingness to accept the mobility platform were investigated in different age cohorts. Patients and methods The investigation was carried out using a written survey based on a standardized questionnaire. The sample of 358 persons aged 40鈥?0 years was divided in four age cohorts (40鈥?4, 55鈥?4, 65鈥?4, and 75鈥?聽years). Results Our results show a high willingness to accept the mobility platform in the overall sample. Age, residence, income, and general technology commitment were significant predictors for the judgment of the platform. Conclusion Although there were group differences in accepting the mobility platform, the older cohorts are also open-minded towards this new technology.
