These devices, ranging from smart watches to physical activity monitors, have gained popularity and have become ubiquitous tools that track various aspects of health and wellness. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the use of wearable technologies in health promotion in Human Medicine students. METHODS: The research is characterized by its cross-sectional and quantitative nature, with a basic and descriptive non-experimental design. The study population consisted of 128 students of Human Medicine at a private university located in Arequipa, Peru. Data collection was carried out through the use of surveys and questionnaires. RESULTS: Regarding the adoption and use of wearable technologies, 35.94% (46) reported a moderate level, 32.81% (42) indicated a high level, while 31.25% (40) indicated a low level. This finding suggests a balanced and non-extreme adoption of wearable technologies among the students examined in the context of health promotion. CONCLUSIONS: We were able to determine a moderate level of adoption and use of wearable technologies among Human Medicine students to promote health and wellness. This result points to the relevance of these technologies in health-related activities, highlighting a particular emphasis on a moderate level of use.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Informática médicaPromoción de la saludEstudiante universitarioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#5.03.01https://doi.org/10.4108/eetpht.10.5701EAI Endorsed Transactions on Pervasive Health and Technologyhttps://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85193241611&doi=10.4108%2feetpht.10.5701&origin=inward&txGid=5c82b2aaf41550282f8e36b18874f81d
