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.

The objectives of this study were to explore food-related lifestyle segments of the older consumers, to identify its socio-demographic characteristics, and to investigate the differences in variables regarding health beliefs. A survey was conducted of adults 55 years of age and older living in Seoul, South Korea from March 28 to April 10, 2007. Out of the 500 distributed questionnaires, 361 were retained for final analysis: a response rate of 72.2%. As a result of cluster analysis, five consumer segments were identified; health-managing group, diet-unconcerned group, convenience-oriented group, taste-oriented group, unpracticed group. Significant differences were found among the five segments in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and variables regarding health beliefs (i.e., perceived self-efficacy, perceived barriers, perceived benefits). In the health-managing group and taste-oriented group, mean scores of perceived self-efficacy (p<0.001) and perceived benefits (p<0.001) were significantly higher than other groups. However, in the diet-unconcerned group and convenience-oriented group, the mean scores of perceived barriers (p<0.01) were significantly high. This study shows that foodservice operators targeting the older consumers should consider characteristics of each segment to develop a customized program.
