Trust and transparency; working for the wearer.

Unlike many technologies which work for someone else, a personal wearable is designed to facilitate, enhance, and work for the wearer. The user trusts the wearable because it belongs to them, because the interaction provides the user with sufficient oversight and understanding, and because the software's operation is understandable and open to evaluation (open source).
