한국은 2025년 전체 인구 중 65세 이상 인구가 20%을 상회하는 초고령 사회 진입이 전망되면서 노화수준에 맞는 고령친화적인 제품서비스 공급이 요구된다. 특히 시니어 소비자가 사용하기 편리한 인터페이스를 갖춘 서비스가 필요하다. 이에 시니어들은 노화(aging)에 대한 문제의식에 비용을 지불하며 젊은 소비자들과 유사한 소비행태를 보이고, 노화 수준별 건강 유지 및 건강 불안, 돌봄 공백, 사회적 고립 증가 등 사회문제가 복합적으로 심화되면서 고령친화적인 스마트한 Aging Service 공급이 요구된다. 이러한 시기와 맞물려 with코로나시대 시니어 소비자가 사용하기 편리한 인터페이스를 갖는 제품·서비스로 4차 산업혁명의 중심인 AI(Artificial Intelligence)와 정보통신 기술의 노력이 가시화되고 있다. 따라서 IT 기술에 덧입혀 시니어들의 욕구에 부합하는 AI 음성인식 기능을 탑재한 제품 및 서비스가 향후 고령친화산업 성장을 주도할 것으로 전망된다. 이에 본 연구는 '고령친화 AI 음성 O2O 서비스'의 서비스 가치가 태도와 이용의도에 영향을 미치는가를 분석하기 위해 선행이론을 토대로 전문가 델파이 방법을 통해 고령친화 AI 음성 O2O 서비스의 정의를 도출하고 실증분석으로 '고령친화 AI 음성 O2O 서비스'의 서비스가치(상황기반 제공성, 즉시연결성, 위치정확성)와 태도 및 이용의도간의 인과관계를 조사하기 위해 본 연구를 진행하였다.

It has been well known that there is a close relationship between health and depression among older adults. Under the purpose to mitigate and prevent the risk of depression caused by poor health, the changes in subjective health status'effects on depression depending on the level of age-friendly public service resources, and age were respectively examined in this study. Moderating effects analysis was conducted using 492 adults aged 55 years and over from '2017 age integration survey' data which had been collected nation-widely. Major findings are as follows. The inadequate subjective health status raises the level of depression. This tendency is weakened when the better age-friendly public service resources are presented. In contrast, age has no statistically significant effects on the relationship between two variables. As a result of reviewing the specific conditions to bring out the interaction effects, frail subjective health status increased depression of all age groups as the level of age-friendly public service resources is low. Particularly, for the participants aged average(age 66.6) and older, the negative effects of subjective health status on depression are likely to be lowered by the improvement in poor age-friendly public service resources. That is, the buffer effects of age-friendly public service resources are proved. Based on theses findings, several suggestions for health promotion and depression prevention of older adults were discussed.
