尽管可穿戴医疗设备的重要性，很少有人知道是什么影响个人采用可穿戴医疗设备。本研究的目的是研究影响个人采用可穿戴健身跟踪器（一种可穿戴医疗设备）的意图的因素。在这项研究中检查的因素包括人际关系的影响，个人创新，自我效能，对可穿戴健身跟踪器的态度，健康利益，并认为昂贵的设备。比较了两组个体的收养意愿。一组包括已经知道健身追踪器的人;另一组包括那些不知道这种设备的人。分析从616名受访者收集的数据，我们发现，意识到可穿戴健身追踪器的受访者的采用意愿比不知道的受访者更强。有序逻辑回归的结果表明，在这两组受访者中，消费者的态度，个人创新和健康兴趣与采用可穿戴健身跟踪器的意图有统计学意义和积极的关联。
Despite the importance of wearable healthcare devices, little has been known about what influences individual adoption of a wearable healthcare device. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that influence an individual's intention to adopt a wearable fitness tracker, which is a type of wearable healthcare devices. Factors examined in this study included interpersonal influence, personal innovativeness, self-efficacy, attitudes toward a wearable fitness tracker, health interests, and perceived expensiveness of the device. Adoption intentions of two groups of individuals were compared. One group included individuals who already knew about fitness trackers; the other included those who were unaware of such devices. Analyzing data collected from 616 respondents, we found that the intention to adopt was stronger among respondents who were aware of wearable fitness trackers than it was among those who were not aware. Results of ordered logistic regressions indicate that in both groups of respondents, consumer attitudes, personal innovativeness, and health interests had statistically significant and positive associations with the intention to adopt a wearable fitness tracker.
