Abstract

As the importance of smart mobile devices grows, organizations face the challenge of selecting appropriate devices such
as smartphones, tablets, or smart glasses. The device selection can prevent physical and psychological risks associated
with their subsequent use in the workplace. Organizations can avoid bad investments and proactively minimize risks
by conducting a pre-purchase risk assessment. In the GBU-SmarD project, an analysis of 253 publications has provided
scientific insight into the potential health and safety risks of working with smart mobile devices. In addition, eight focus
groups with 20 tablet and 17 smart glasses users complemented the findings with practical experience from the field. This
article presents 24 device selection criteria that will form the basis for the future development of a device selection tool
for organizational use.
