Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objectives: The digital divide is a complex phenomenon in which a metaphorical gap is present in between two groups of individuals who utilize ICT"s (information communication technologies). This gap provides cause for concern, especially with a society that is so technologically advanced in todays" day. Currently, little is known about how older adults and millennials access and use e-health based technologies. Hence, a systematic review was undertaken to address this noted gap in the literature. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken employing the following three databases (i) PubMed, (ii) ERIC, and (iii) CINAHL were examined using the search term "digital divide and generations" to identify potential articles were present. A data abstraction tool was created to obtain the following information: (i) author, (ii) year of publication, (iii) sample size, (iv) country of origin, (v) design/methods, (vi) major findings/outcomes obtained. Inclusion criteria included publication dates between the years of Jan 2009 to Aug 2018, written in the English language, targeting the target population of older adults aged 65+ and millennials, as well as being peer reviewed quantitative articles. Results/Conclusion: There is a dearth of literature in this topic, as well as a decline of research produced from Canada. The consequences and benefits of technology being integrated into daily living are just being investigated. Additionally, a change in the way that healthcare is currently used, received and distributed would also help attribute to the change to ensure that no generation is left behind in a technologically advanced society.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
