Abstract

Wearable technology is a self-contained computer system that can record muscular activity data. Wearable technologies are rapidly evolving that have the potential to enhance the well-being of healthier lives. However, wearable technologies are finding slow adoption rates relative to mainstream technologies such as smartphones. Consequently, both designers and manufacturers are increasingly interested in key decision factors that influence the acceptance of these technologies. As discussions relating to wearable technologies are often approached from different perspectives, a general framework featuring not only a synthesis of general acceptance issues but also with consideration of contingent factors would be a useful research undertaking. Furthermore, wearable technology acceptance studies are insufficient to supplement practical implementation and promotion issues. In this regard, methods for further analysis of results from structural equation modeling (SEM), such as importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) and VIKOR for multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution, can be used to derive greater insights. The primary research findings are extensively discussed, and practical promotion strategies for wearable technologies for health care are suggested.
