“…Researchers in this field find that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, compatibility, subject norm, and technology anxiety influence user adoption of HIS [26,27]. Moreover, reasoned actions, emotional responses and habitual responses also have significant effects on HIS user continuous behavior [28].…”

The rapid growth in consumer adoption of wearable devices has garnered the attention of both practitioners and academia. Competition in the wearable device market is both substantial and complicated. In this study, we investigate the impact of network externality on wearable device competition in a two-dimensional product differentiation model. We consider a market that has a broad array of products (horizontal differentiation) and various quality levels (vertical differentiation). We study two types of network externalities according to the product compatibility in two types of market structures. Our model indicates that firm profits are decreased by network externalities in horizontal dominance. Network externality also increases (decreases) the higher-quality (lower-quality) firm's profit in vertical dominance. Moreover, firms should ensure that their products are incompatible with those of rivals when network externality is large, and they should release compatible products when network externality is small in horizontal dominance. Firms should always ensure that their products are compatible with those of competitors in vertical dominance.

“…Kijsanayotin et al 8 found that previous IT experiences can predict health IT use in Thailand's community health centers. In exploring Singapore women's acceptance of health information seeking via mobile devices, Lim et al 9 found that prior experiences of health information seeking contribute to positive usage intentions. However, Pynoo et al 10 found no main effect of experience on physicians' acceptance of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems.…”

Background: To lower barriers to developmental screening, we designed Baby CROINC (CROwd INtelligence Curation), a digital platform to help parents track and assess their children's development through crowd wisdom. Objectives: To understand users' experiences using Baby CROINC in relation to users' technological competence and attitudes, while considering the influence of their children's presented developmental evaluations and parents' actual use of the system. Methods: Mothers of 260 children (M age= 17.6 months, SD=13.7) used Baby CROINC for two weeks. They entered developmental milestones on their children's developmental diary timeline and received statistical developmental percentile reports. Mothers then completed Usability and Technology Profile Questionnaires. Results: Mothers' experiences of the Baby CROINC system usability were associated with their attitudes toward solving technological problems, mediated by frequency of engagement in Internet activities. Mothers with a proactive approach toward solving technology problems, engage in a wide range of Internet activities, and/or view the Internet as integral to their lives had a better experience with Baby CROINC than mothers who did not. The system's perceived usability was not associated with the crowd-based child developmental percentiles or quantity of mothers' usage of the system. Conclusions: Parent's user experiences correlate with their technology competence and problem solving attitude but is not correlated with their child's developmental status. Developmental screening platforms need to solve the tension between requiring active engagement and encouraging proactive parenting.
