Design Flaws and RecommendationsThe Spree cap that attempts to measure heart rate and body temperature was found to have many flaws in function. While it's measurements for heart rate were found to be semi-accurate, the measurements for temperature, when compared to a gold standard, were found to be very inaccurate. For the heart rate measurements, the semi-accuracy is based off the p value from t-test, and from the Pearson's R constant. According to the p value from the T-Test, the values from heart rate are accurate and connected to the gold standard with statistical significance. But, according to the Persons R value, the measurements did not reach a totally accurate level. The temperature measurements varied between 4 different values (95, 96, 97, and 98 degrees, with extremely frequent readings of 95 degrees) even when the actual readings of the gold standard were very variable and detailed. This is a probable result of a large design flaw in the temperature reading ability of the design. This design flaw must be remedied if the company wishes to market its product as a functional device to measure temperature, and our recommendation is that the designers of the product attempt to approach the problem from a completely new perspective. This is recommended because of the extreme failing of the current measurement process, since its measurements were so significantly statistically different from the gold standards.
Experimental Design of DeviceOur experiment is designed around the detection of TB, but our product can be extended to other airborne diseases. Our target population should come into contact with TB, but not on a constant basis. For this experiment, we're assuming our product has already been verified and will be targeting the countries that receive humanitarian aid (Egypt, | ||||||
