기술수용모델을 활용한 스마트워치의 심전도와 광혈류 측정에 관한 연구

Abstract

Since smartwatches are mounted on the wrist, there is a strong advantage in mounting positions for healthcare. These characteristics create great opportunities for smartwatches in today's healthcare and other application markets. The purpose of this study was to introduce the mediating effect of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to verify the intention to use an electrocardiography (ECG) and a photoplethysmography (PPG) using a smartwatch. The thesis model is that safety, convenience, affective Trust, and perceived trust influence intention to use through TAM. 340 samples were collected through Naver's online survey for the study, and hypothesis testing was conducted on 331 respondents. The survey results were obtained using SmartPLS 4.0, a software for structural equation modeling technique. The results of the paper clearly indicate the use of smartwatch ECG and PPG applications. The results of the study are as follows. Safety, Convenience, and Cognitive trust have a positive effect on perceived usefulness. Safety, convenience and perceived trust influence perceived ease of use. The empirical results of the research influence the decision-making process for users who want to continuously use smartwatch ECG and PPG applications that provide new information. The results of this study show that it is necessary to consider consumer safety, convenience, and cognitive beliefs to better understand the user's intention to use.
