Perception of Smart Wearables Device users towards the Sustainability Concerns

Abstract

Smart wearable devices have transformed the way individuals interact with technology in their daily lives, offering personalized solutions that enhance convenience, connectivity, and productivity. However, along with their benefits, concerns regarding user acceptability, accessibility, and data privacy persist. This study aims to investigate how smart wearables can improve customer experience and quality of life, addressing both opportunities and challenges they present. The theoretical framework revolves around three main pillars: personalized recommendations based on user data, seamless integration with other devices, and inclusivity and accessibility. The research examines various aspects, including user perceptions of sustainability concerns, usage patterns among young users, and possibilities for customized healthcare. Through a comprehensive literature review, gaps in research are identified, particularly regarding sustainability concerns, user awareness, and ethical considerations. The research methodology involves a quantitative survey to gauge user perceptions of sustainability issues, statistical analysis to identify trends, and theoretical exploration of sustainability factors in wearable technology. Additionally, experimental studies evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of sustainable material substitutes. The study aims to contribute valuable insights for individuals, organizations, and policymakers to maximize the positive impact of smart wearables on users' lives while addressing sustainability and ethical concerns.
