Abstract: This article presents a detailed analysis of research in the field of adoption of wearable devices by taking into consideration existing literature and related theories, frameworks, research methods, type of wearable device under study, geographical distribution, type and level of analysis. A systematic review of related research has been conducted by exploring databases like Elsevier, Emerald, Springer, Sage, Taylor and Francis, the Wiley Online Library, the IEEE, etc., to find articles between 1990 and 2018. A total of 118 articles have been synthesized and reviewed for the analysis. The results show that most of the studies undertaken so far have been empirical and quantitative in nature. A majority of studies focus on more developed nations like USA and show the increasing demand of wearable devices for entertainment, healthcare and fitness purposes. The scope for future research seems to be bright as studies are showing an increasing trend of more studies from the past few years.
