BME100 f2017:Group12 W1030 L3
SCENARIO
You have just graduated with your BME degree and have been hired by a start-up company called “Suntronic”. They are developing a new body temperature and heart rate monitor for smart phones and want to check out the competition. The latest such device is from Spree Sports (www.spreesports.com) and they claim the device can accurately measure body temperature and heart rate. Your assignment is to assess how valid the device is as well as to identify any design flaws by comparing the temperature and heart rate readings on the device to those of an oral thermometer and pulse oximeter.
ASSIGNMENT
1. Using the provided data and supplied how to videos, calculate the mean and standard deviation for both sensor, oral thermometer and pulse ox.
2.Calculate the correlation coefficient (Pearson’s r) between 1) the oral thermometer and Spree Band and 2) the pulse ox and the Spree Band.
Oral thermometer & Spree Band:
Pulse ox & Spree Band:
3. Run statistical analysis to compare the 1) oral thermometer and Spree Band and 2) the pulse ox and the Spree Band.
Oral thermometer & Spree Band:
Pulse ox & Spree Band:
4. Graph all your results and include stars showing significance (if appropriate).
5. Write a summary of your results including any conclusions you have made from your analysis.
6.Design an experiment to test your own prototype. Provide rationale for design.
