“…In addition, the development of products with wearable technologies faces difficulties in market positioning, as there is interaction with more than one industrial sector (Wood, 2018). For example, there are relations between the fashion and the electronics sectors, which play complementary roles in the complex productive context.…”

“…The scholars and decision-makers need to determine which new forms of integration connect the various parts of the field as it continues to grow (Dehghani & Kim, 2019). First, new technologies arising from the miniaturization of components foster research opportunities, such as incorporating conductors into the fabric thread (Wood, 2018). Second, the functionality of devices and cost reduction of the leading technologies cause the wearable market to grow rapidly (Dehghani & Kim, 2019).…”

PurposeThe fashion sector is complex. It involves multiple actors with distinct and potentially conflicting interests, forming a value ecosystem. Thus, knowing the interested parties and belonging to the fashion sector may be a means to promote technological innovation, such as products with wearables. The purpose of this paper to identify the participants of the fashion ecosystem from the perspective of wearable technologies and develop a conceptual model.Design/methodology/approachThe present work aims to identify the participants (actors) and develop a conceptual model of the fashion ecosystem from the perspective of wearable technologies. The systematic literature review is the recommended method to qualitatively analyze documents and identify the interested parties (actors) in the fashion sector in order to design the proposed conceptual model.FindingsFrom the studies, the conceptual model of the fashion value ecosystem was designed, and the wearable product was considered its core business. The studies identified addressed ecosystems of fashion value in general but not specific to wearable products and their relations with other complementary industries.Research limitations/implicationsThe model was designed using secondary data only. Its validation is relevant through interviews with experts.Originality/valueIn terms of relevance, when conducting a systematic literature review, there were no studies that included wearable technologies in the fashion ecosystems discussed and their relations with other industries. The topic of wearables is an emerging subject that needs further research aiming to insert this technology in productive sectors.

“…Ao analisar o ecossistema de valor da moda na perspectiva dos produtos tecnológicos ou wearables, introduz-se atores advindos da computação e eletrônica, os quais deixam de operar como indústrias separadas e passam a atuar conjuntamente [8]. Com isso incertezas técnicas para a fabricação dos produtos wearables são amplificadas e mudanças no desenvolvimento da produção são frequentes [4].…”

Modelo conceitual do ecossistema de valor da moda na perspectiva dos produtos WEARABLES

2020

O ecossistema de valor da moda é complexo e composto por múltiplos atores com interesses distintos e potencialmente conflitantes. Esta complexidade se amplifica ao introduzir novos processos ou produtos com o objetivo de promover a inovação tecnológica, tais como o desenvolvimento de artigos wearables (tecnologias vestíveis). Portanto, conhecer os atores pertencentes a este ecossistema é interessante. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar os atores que compõem o ecossistema de valor da moda na perspectiva das tecnologias vestíveis (wearables technologies). Para tanto, realizou-se a revisão sistemática de literatura investigando estruturas de ecossistemas de valor, em segundo momento identificou-se os atores presentes nos estudos identificados e, por fim, propôs-se o framework conceitual do ecossistema de valor. Como resultado, a pesquisa apresentou o modelo conceitual e inseriu a relação com indústrias como eletrônica e de software no ecossistema, além disso considerou os atores complementares, tais como os profissionais envolvidos no processo de produção do produto wearables.

“…lawyer joked, 'maybe our leaking data should be protected as intellectual property!' With the advent of personalized technologies that engage unique biological identifiers by measuring chemicals in blood, parsing the meaning of sweat, or analyzing tears, she might not be so far off the mark (Nissenbaum & Patterson, 2016;Prahl, 2015;Thompson, 2015;Wood, 2018). Newly invasive tech/body interfaces in biotech wearables grant unprecedented levels of access to currently unprotected human data, bringing the data question into sharp relief (Glazer, 2016;Lafrance, 2017).…”

Blood, Sweat, and Tears: Navigating Creepy versus Cool in Wearable Biotech

This paper considers how personal data protections figure into the design process of wearable technology. The data question is becoming especially important in the face of recent innovations in biotechnology that capitalize on the new fungibility of biology and electronics, in which new biotech wearables capitalize on the ability to analyze and track changes in blood, sweat, and tears. Interviews and participant observation with wearable tech designers, data scientists, fashion tech entrepreneurs, and select experts in cybersecurity and intellectual property law, reveal a range of approaches to data protection in design within the culture where wearables are beginning to merge with biotech. While a few respondents were extremely vigilant about protecting consumer's privacy, the majority felt that when consumers 'opt in' to data sharing, they should be cognizant of the risks. From their perspective, it is not necessarily the producer's responsibility to protect user's personal data. These attitudes present a problematic logic, which leaves users vulnerable to data exploitation. The paper concludes by arguing that this laissez-faire culture is the environment in which wearable biotech is being developed and will be deployed. This emerging technology raises issues about bodies, data, and ownership in crucial need of analysis and critique to push its move into the mainstream toward more equitable and inclusive ends.
