Abstract
Background: Currently, wearable devices, such as smartwatches, allow people to monitor health-related data, which help a better sense of their health status. But it still has a long way to go to really prove whether the perceptions could translate into health-related behavior which require individual be responsible for their own health. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility or effectiveness and limitations of wearable devices in health behavior intervention. Firstly, we explored the factors related to wearable devices and health self-management. Secondly, this paper attempted to get whether these factors related to health self-management could induce health behavior based on the Health Belief Model. Methods: The paper was organized as follow. We first reviewed the literature on wearable devices and then attempted to explain the possibility and effectiveness of wearable devices in promoting health behavior according to the concept in Health Belief Model. Finally, this paper gave a preliminary conclusion about the issues we were discussing.
