The results suggest the importance of the users' performance expectations for wearable health devices for the intention of continued use for self-health management and habituation. Based on our results, developers and health care practitioners should find better ways to meet the performance expectations of middle-aged individuals with MetS risk factors. They also should generate device use easier and find a way to encourage users' health motivation, thereby reducing users' effort expectancy and resulting in a reasonable performance expectancy of the wearable health device, to induce users' habitual use behaviors.
