Investigating Users’ Attitudes Toward Automated Smartwatch Cardiac Arrest Detection: Cross-Sectional Survey Study Publication

This publication is part of the user research conducted for the HEART-SAFE project, as detailed in WP1. In this article, we investigate potential users' attitudes toward automated cardiac arrest detection using smartwatches.

We concluded that the vast majority of potential users have a positive attitude toward automated cardiac arrest detection using smartwatch technology. The primary concerns raised by participants included privacy, data protection, reliability, and accessibility of the technology. Despite such concerns, the vast majority indicated that they would be willing to use the technology. This indicates a strong potential user base but also underscores the importance of addressing the identified concerns to optimize acceptance and effectiveness of the technology.
