Psychological challenges smart wearable faced with

● Apathy. If you're not motivated to change, it doesn't matter.

● Simplicity vs. Complexity. We can’t just shove complex psychology into

an app and expect an incredible user experience.

● Personalization vs. Scale. Psychology is generally applied in a clinical

setting, with the best results from 1:1 interactions & does not scale.

● New behavior forming. The process of anticipating/preventing relapse is

integral to lasting behavior change. This important step is almost always

overlooked in technologies

● Integration with Real Life. There exists a natural barrier between doing

something on your phone and taking action in real life.To Wear or not to Wear?
