摘要

The rise of Smart Wearable Health Products (SWHP) offers fresh perspectives on solving societal health issues in light of wearable computing and personalized healthcare. However, more investigation is needed to clarify the exact processes by which smart wearables affect users’ health results. To examine how the technological and esthetic components of SWHP affect users’ psychological processes and health promotion behaviors (HPB), the study uses a multidisciplinary approach to build a stimulus-organism-response (SOR) model. A total of 506 valid samples were gathered, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The findings show that data management, social interaction, and esthetic pleasure considerably impact users’ positive affect (PA) and that PA partially mediates their relationship with HPB. Besides, users’ self-efficacy and HPB are influenced by their perceptions of the technological and esthetic components. This study of the smart wearables’ function mechanism provides a novel direction for the growth of the health technology industry chain and helps designers to further improve users’ health-related usage and decision-making.
