Understanding the usage of physical activity tracking devices by Lam, Pui Shan

“…Participants who used a tracker for more than a year before eventually stopping usage had a significantly higher score for device breakage (p = 0.030) or having experienced negative psychological impacts (p = 0.001) as compared to those who used a tracker for less than a year before stopping usage. …”
