可穿戴设备是个人监测其健康，跟踪行为并保持联系的潜在至关重要的机制。从他们的能力中受益。对少数派的人，较高的SES社区进行了19次半结构化访谈。我们将有用的功能和持续的障碍提炼主题，以指导急需的研究议程，我们称为“股票软件”：构建可穿戴设备基于低SES社区的需求，舒适性和限制。
Wearables are a potentially vital mechanism for individuals to monitor their health, track behaviors, and stay connected. Unfortunately, both price and a lack of consideration of the needs of low-SES communities have made these devices inaccessible and unusable for communities that would most substantially benefit from their affordances. To address this gap and better understand how members of low-SES communities perceive the potential benefits and barriers to using wearable devices, we conducted 19 semi-structured interviews with people from minority, high crime rate, low-SES communities. Participants emphasized a critical need for safety-related wearable devices in their communities. Still, existing tools do not yet address the specific needs of this community and are out of reach due to several barriers. We distill themes on perceived useful features and ongoing obstacles to guide a much-needed research agenda we term ’Equityware’: building wearable devices based on low-SES communities’ needs, comfortability, and limitations.
