More
information on the webinar is in the abstract below. We look
forward to
seeing you there!
Abstract: Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) have given users
the ability
to monitor heart rate, calories burned, steps walked, time spent
exercising, and electrical activity of the heartbeat. Although
major
players in the wearable industry have marketed their wearables
using the
health and activity tracking features, a noteworthy health
behavior change
has not been observed at individual or societal level. A prominent
barrier
to adoption of healthcare features in these devices is lack of
user trust.
This research conceptualizes the formation of user’s initial trust
in
wearables. Here, wearable systems are proposed as
three-dimensional
framework constituting the device, the organization (manufacturer
or
app-maker), and the Internet. Understanding the formation of
initial trust
on wearable systems’ healthcare features can lead to improvement
in user’s
health-related behaviors, which in turn has the potential to cause
a
societal change in primary healthcare delivery.
