Abstract

Wearables are one of the most promising technology for eas- ing the transition towards a personalized medicine, bringing healthcare and rehabilitation from hospitals to homes. Wearables inherently carries with them all the problems of small, portable devices and technologists. These problems could be related to the design phase as the real needs of the user are often not taken into consideration. This paper aims to describe the design and application of a new method for usability and acceptability evaluation of wearable devices, which can be applied after the first low fidelity prototype or and the end of development phase in order to evaluate how easy the system is to use, when comfortable and invasive, but above all if it reflects.
