Enforcing Trust as a Means to Improve Adoption of Connected Wearable Technologies

This paper carries out a study on enforcing trust as a means to improve user adoption of wearable technologies. These technologies can play an integral part in facilitating intelligent environments by collecting real-time data for input into networked controllers. The paper reviews wearable devices, their use and current concerns and challenges as well as the factors that influence adoption. The paper goes on to discuss trust as a concept, its models and how it relates to adoption. It also reports on the results of a survey questionnaire used to determine the factors that influence trust in users. These factors and a comparison of existing trust models were used to propose a new Trust Model for Wearable devices.
