Abstract

The wealth of data provided by wearable technologies can provide many advantages to stakeholders. As a result, empowered consumers have developed growing expectations for personalized engagement in many aspects of their daily lives, including health care. However, the proliferation of health data generated by wearable technologies presents both opportunities and challenges. Challenges arise when there is a gap in the management of wearable health data such as the lack of adequate regulations to govern and use data. The opportunities lie in the proper management of wearable health data where measures are implemented to ensure that data quality and privacy are upheld and data ownership, access and use are defined. This paper explored the benefits and concerns of wearable health data management using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and conceptual analysis. The contribution is a conceptual model of the benefits and concerns of wearable health data management. The model highlights that data quality, privacy, security, and governance are both prevalent benefits and concerns regarding wearable health data, whereas data ownership and accessibility were highlighted as the main concerns of wearable health data management.
