User Engagement with the User Manuals of Smart Medical Wearable Technologies and Relevant Questions of User Behavior

In this paper, engagement with smart medical wearables and with their user manuals, as well as related user behavior are studied. A research questionnaire containing 15 single-choice questions was completed by 1381 test participants to address relevant topics of the investigated area, including trust in measured medical data, device calibration, technical terminologies and function discovery in the documentation, information sources beyond the documentation, and wearing such devices to bed. The questionnaire particularly focused on device functionalities and characteristics that initially led to the purchase of the smart medical wearable.
