Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Digital Health
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Wearable devices offer continuous, unobtrusive data collection for child development research.
  • Few studies explore family experiences with child wearable research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Assess parents' and children's experiences with a new wearable device in the home.
  • Evaluate usability, privacy, and risks/benefits of child wearable technology.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-methods approach combining interviews and questionnaires.
  • Two studies involved parents and children aged 1 month to 9.5 years.
  • Device integrated audio, ECG, and motion sensors, worn on a specialized shirt.

Main Results:

  • Most parents found the device easy to use, safe, and remote visits convenient.
  • Privacy concerns regarding audio data varied; machine learning and user controls mitigated some concerns.
  • Parents reported positive experiences, including comfort, safety, and enjoyment, with minimal perceived burden.

Conclusions:

  • Parental feedback provides actionable insights for improving wearable device platforms for children.
  • Enhancements can optimize the experience of using child wearable devices in home-based research.
  • Future research should prioritize family perspectives to refine digital health tools for pediatric studies.
