Abstract in brief

This systematic review analyzes 463 research articles from 2013 to 2017 to explore wearable activity trackers (WAT), focusing on their technology, usage in medical settings, behavior change, user acceptance, self-monitoring, and privacy concerns.
The study highlights that although WAT are widely used for tracking health metrics like steps, heart rate, and sleep, there’s still a significant gap in understanding the complex human-technology interactions involved in their adoption and use.
The review proposes new research questions across disciplines to better understand how people interact with these devices and the implications for health and behavior change.]
