AbstractGerontechnology is an innovative solution that plays an important role in promoting patients’ independent living, reducing institutional care, and alleviating caregiver burden. However, one of the major crises hindering its wide acceptance and utilization in Hong Kong is poor accessibility, preventing end-users from acquiring knowledge about gerontechnology products and purchase methods (Our Hong Kong Foundation, 2021). Our project aims to address this gap by promoting patients' gerontechnology knowledge and acceptance through education while identifying their needs to maximize utilization.Keywords: gerontechnology education, patient empowerment
