在过去几年中，越来越多地使用商业可穿戴设备来跟踪健身相关活动。这些设备感知并收集各种个人健康和健身数据，这些数据可以由不同受众的用户共享。然而，人们对用户分享这些设备收集的信息的做法以及他们在各种平台上披露这些信息时的担忧知之甚少。在这项研究中，我们对可穿戴健身设备用户进行了 30 次半结构化访谈，以了解他们的分享意图和做法，并检查他们如何管理自己的隐私。我们描述了一组共享健康和健身信息的共同目标，这些目标随后影响用户对接收者的选择以及他们共享该信息所采用的具体做法。我们的研究结果表明，参与者主要关心的是可接受的规范和自我表达，而不是信息的敏感性。我们的结果提供了一组共同的目标和实践，可以激发新的应用程序，并帮助改进现有的共享感知健身信息的平台。
There has been increasing use of commercial wearable devices for tracking fitness-related activities in the past few years. These devices sense and collect a variety of personal health and fitness data, which can be shared by users with different audiences. Yet, little is known about users’ practices for sharing information collected by these devices, and the concerns they have when disclosing this information across a variety of platforms. In this study, we conducted 30 semi-structured interviews with wearable fitness device users to understand their sharing intentions and practices, and to examine what they do to manage their privacy. We describe a set of common goals for sharing health and fitness information, which then influence users’ choices of the recipients and the specific practices they employ to share that information. Our findings indicate that participants were primarily concerned about acceptable norms and selfpresentation rather than the sensitivity of the information. Our results provide a set of common goals and practices which can inspire new applications and help improve existing platforms for sharing sensed fitness information.
