目的-本文的目的是调查与消费者在医疗保健领域采用可穿戴技术的意愿相关的因素，并检验产品类型对消费者采用意愿的调节作用。设计/方法/途径-基于技术接受和使用统一理论2（UTAUT 2），保护动机理论（PMT），和隐私演算理论该模型进行了测试，462名受访者使用survey.Findings -消费者的决定，采用医疗可穿戴技术的影响因素，从技术，健康和隐私的角度来看。特别是，健身设备用户关心更多的享乐动机，功能一致性，社会影响，感知隐私风险，感知脆弱性，但医疗设备用户更注重感知期望，自我效能，努力期望，感知severity.Originality/value -这项研究是第一次调查医疗可穿戴设备从行为的角度。它还有助于从技术，健康和隐私的角度全面了解新兴的健康信息技术（HIT）的接受程度。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors associated with consumer's intention to adopt wearable technology in healthcare, and to examine the moderating effects of product type on consumer's adoption intention.Design/methodology/approach - An integrated acceptance model was developed based on unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2), protection motivation theory (PMT), and privacy calculus theory. The model was tested with 462 respondents using a survey.Findings - Consumer's decision to adopt healthcare wearable technology is affected by factors from technology, health, and privacy perspectives. Specially, fitness device users care more about hedonic motivation, functional congruence, social influence, perceived privacy risk, and perceived vulnerability, but medical device users pay more attention to perceived expectancy, self-efficacy, effort expectancy, and perceived severity.Originality/value - This study is among the first to investigate healthcare wearable device from behavioral perspective. It also helps to comprehensively understand emerging health information technology (HIT) acceptance from technology, health, and privacy perspectives.
