This study empirically examined the effects of internal and external factors on
actual use behavior, health improvement expectancy, and continuous use intention
of healthcare wearable devices. The study proposed a research model with its
associated hypotheses that were tested using structural equation modeling. We
also performed a comparative analysis of the two sample groups (medical personnel
and general public), based on data collected from 288 healthcare wearable
devices/apps users. The findings of the study indicated that internal and
external factors have positive effects on actual use behavior, and health
improvement expectancy and continuous use intention of healthcare wearable
devices can be promoted through actual use behavior. The comparative analysis of
the two groups showed that medical personnel had higher relationships among the
study factors than general public. The study results shed theoretical and
practical implications regarding how healthcare wearable devices or apps can be
effectively used for disease prevention and health management for the users.
