“…To further understanding consumer's behaviors toward healthcare wearable devices, prior studies widely examined the impacts of related factors such as ease of use and motivation on user's decision to adopt wearable devices in healthcare [23,24]. In addition, pioneer researches have contributed to the development of wearable technologies [4,5] as well as the design of specific devices to be applied in healthcare sector [1][2][3]25]. However, the economic phenomenon of healthcare wearable devices is still yet-to-be-understood.…”

The rapid growth in consumer adoption of wearable devices has garnered the attention of both practitioners and academia. Competition in the wearable device market is both substantial and complicated. In this study, we investigate the impact of network externality on wearable device competition in a two-dimensional product differentiation model. We consider a market that has a broad array of products (horizontal differentiation) and various quality levels (vertical differentiation). We study two types of network externalities according to the product compatibility in two types of market structures. Our model indicates that firm profits are decreased by network externalities in horizontal dominance. Network externality also increases (decreases) the higher-quality (lower-quality) firm's profit in vertical dominance. Moreover, firms should ensure that their products are incompatible with those of rivals when network externality is large, and they should release compatible products when network externality is small in horizontal dominance. Firms should always ensure that their products are compatible with those of competitors in vertical dominance.

“…There are also a number of different existing frameworks and predictive models in the literature for instance the ubiquitous computing acceptance model [7] and the factors of mobile computing [8]. Due to limited research concerning about technology innovation acceptance of mobile computing and wearable technology, this study was designed to develop the conceptual framework based on the integration factors from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and related factors on mobility and ubiquity of technology to understand the wearable technology acceptance.…”

Wearable technology has become mainstream in this information age, it is needed to understand how the potential users of this emerging technology gain value from the innovation of the technology, consequently increasing users' diffusion. Extant literature on the acceptance of mobile computing has been developing such as in mobile banking services and in healthcare service, however, the study of users' acceptance about the emergence of wearable mobile computing is still at the early stages. This paper examines the development of a conceptual framework to understand the technology adoption factors for wearable mobile computing utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and related factors on mobility and pervasive computing. Data of 272 respondents were collected using quantitative approach of survey based questionnaires conducted in Malaysia. The findings of this research revealed the factors of mobility (MOB), personalization (PN) and perceived enjoyment (PE) achieved the highest average score by respondents, followed by perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU), observability (OBS), facilitating condition (FC) and social influence (SI). As wearable technology is perceived to be pervasive, mobility (MOB) and perceived enjoyment (PE) contribute the dominant factor for usage acceptance, while Perceived Usefulness (PU) from established model TAM, still plays an important factors in predicting innovation adoption of wearable mobile computing.

“…If we take privacy as an example, Western and Japanese concepts are different [12], and these differences have deep cultural roots [13]. British and Japanese have also different attitudes towards the wearable monitoring devices [14]. We find also differences between the age groups [15].…”

All technical systems influence humans, therefore developing and using them has always ethical aspects. This influence may be strong or weak, direct or indirect. Nowadays, especially with the advent of smart medical devices, systems analyzing big data about us and taking decisions related to our lives, or other forms of pervasive computing, this interaction of technical systems with humans is becoming more intensive and more complex. The growing number of such system, lack of experienced developers, limited budgets and the rush to market may cause important, unpredictable risks. This paper discusses the problem of the ethical decisions taken by the developers inadvertently -just by coding -and proposes some measures to contain this problem and to reduce its impact.
