Abstract: Companies have developed an increasing number of smartphone applications related to rising fine dust health hazards, but these applications remain unable to provide information in real time and companies have yet to develop wearable devices. Methods/Statistical analysis: The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable device that intuitively and continuously informs fine dust concentrations based on the six requirements of technical and design aspects. These aspects are determined through user needs analysis based on interdisciplinary convergent research. In addition, we integrated an Open Application Programming Interface (API) to receive fine dust and atmospheric state information in real time. Finally, we developed a customized design-applied GUI and an easy-to-attach/detach smart fashion tags. Findings: To develop a wearable fine dust detector using Open API, we conducted a study of user needs to identify requisition of technological and design features. The technological features included real-time detection capabilities, reliability, and functionality, and the design features included form, detachability, and customizability. Using convergence research, we developed an attachable and customized keyring, charm/pendant type smart fashion tags. Improvements/Applications: This convergence research highlights the potential for combining IT and high value-added fashion in an organic new keyring business. As fine dust poses an ever more serious threat, developing portable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing fine dust detectors is important and demanding. Thus, we have planned follow-up research to provide real-time fine dust data by reflecting the needs of users in various age groups.
