This project explores how digital innovation—particularly wearable health technology and artificial intelligence (AI)—is reshaping modern healthcare. It analyzes user expectations, market opportunities, and key challenges such as privacy concerns and trust issues. The findings reveal that while the wearable and AI healthcare markets are growing rapidly, user adoption remains limited due to skepticism, security worries, and a preference for human oversight. The report concludes that fostering public trust, emphasizing human-technology collaboration, and transparent communication about data protection are essential to advancing digital healthcare integration.
Healthcare technology is rapidly evolving with innovations like wearable devices and artificial intelligence (AI). As the global medical device market approaches $670 billion by 2029, this project examines how users perceive and adopt these technologies. Findings reveal that while wearables and AI offer major opportunities for personalized care and efficiency, privacy concerns and low trust hinder adoption. The study highlights the importance of education, transparency, and human-technology collaboration to strengthen confidence and encourage wider use of digital healthcare tools.
