Embodiment of Wearable Technology: Qualitative Longitudinal Study

Embodiment of Wearable Technology: Qualitative Longitudinal Study

Creating a good fit with a prosthetic limb relates closely to the concept of wearability, which involves the degree of physical, mental, and/or social comfort in wearing a device [20]. Highly wearable technologies are comfortable and easy to wear (no distraction or attention demand) [20] and have been shown to have higher success rates for continued use [21]. Patients receiving a new wearable to replace an older version described feeling like “a living medical instrument” [22] while wearing the device.
