This Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier (FW-HTF) planning project will advance fundamental knowledge concerning the acceptance and use of wearable health and performance monitoring technologies in the industrial workplace. Although wearables such as fitness tracking watches are used extensively by consumers, there has not been widespread acceptance of wearables within industrial manufacturing. Wearable devices can enhance worker safety, assist in the early detection of potential repetitive motion injuries, and provide information that allows safer and more efficient operations. But they can also present privacy and ethical risks. This project involves fundamental research into potential reasons for non-acceptance of wearable health and performance monitoring technology, challenges faced when wearables are used, risk factors and mitigations, including those related to privacy and ethical concerns. The project investigates real and perceived barriers from the perspectives of workers, management, and organizations. The project will promote the progress of science and advance national health, prosperity and welfare by contributing new knowledge and new conceptual frameworks related to wearable device acceptance and use in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. The project will identify key barriers to wearable technology integration in industrial workplaces, and critical differences between individuals and organizations in adopting new technology. A set of focus group interviews and round table discussions will identify stakeholder perceptions of cost effectiveness, safety and risk, usability, comfort, training and education, implementation, and technological acceptance. Stakeholder groups include workers and managers from industrial manufacturing businesses, future workers drawn from communiversity students and faculty, and workforce development boards and organizations at the city, county, and state levels. Feedback will be analyzed through qualitative data coding. The goal is to develop a novel technology acceptance model that will help all stakeholders understand the complex relationships between technological acceptance and perceptions of cost effectiveness, safety, security, privacy, risk, usability, comfort, and implementation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

人类技术边界（FW-HTF）计划项目的工作未来将促进有关在工业工作场所接受和使用可穿戴健康和绩效监测技术的基本知识。尽管消费者广泛使用了诸如健身跟踪手表之类的可穿戴设备，但在工业制造业中尚未广泛接受可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备可以提高工人的安全性，协助早期发现潜在的重复运动伤害，并提供允许更安全，更有效的操作的信息。但是他们也可以带来隐私和道德风险。该项目涉及针对不接受可穿戴健康和性能监测技术的潜在原因，使用可穿戴设备时面临的挑战，风险因素和缓解，包括与隐私和道德问题有关的挑战。该项目从工人，管理和组织的角度研究了真正的和感知的障碍。该项目将通过贡献与可穿戴设备的接受和使用有关的新知识和新的概念框架来促进科学的进步，并促进国家健康，繁荣和福利。该项目将确定在工业工作场所可穿戴技术集成的关键障碍，以及个人和组织之间采用新技术的关键差异。一系列焦点小组访谈和圆桌讨论将确定利益相关者对成本效益，安全性和风险，可用性，舒适性，培训和教育，实施和技术接受的看法。利益相关者团体包括工业制造业的工人和经理，从社​​区学生和教职员工中吸引的未来工人以及城市，县和州一级的劳动力发展委员会和组织。反馈将通过定性数据编码进行分析。目的是开发一种新型的技术接受模型，该模型将帮助所有利益相关者了解技术接受与成本效率，安全性，安全性，安全性，风险，风险，可用性，舒适性和实施之间的复杂关系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子的优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得的。
