Abstract

With the growing number of health-related disease in the society, individuals are becoming increasingly concerned on health issues and are looking for methods to improve health condition. The emergence of smartwatch has attracted a lot of attention in the Internet of Things market which provides an excellent opportunity to improve human's lifestyle. However, the market share of smartwatches is still relatively low. Therefore, this study attempts to identify the factors that influence customers to adopt smartwatch. The proposed conceptual framework incorporates factors from unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) - performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation and price value with additional determinants retrieved from related literature review - personal innovativeness, perceived privacy risk, healthology and design aesthetics. The proposed model serves as a basis for policy makers and smartwatch manufacturers to understand the important elements that might influence customers to purchase smartwatch.
