Design Flaws and RecommendationsBecause the p value of the data regarding the measurement of heart rate in the spree device and the gold standard was greater than .05, there is no statistically significant difference between these two values, meaning that the collection of data by the spree device is sufficiently similar to the data collected by the gold standard.
Experimental Design of Own DeviceOur hypothesis states that babies that use our device will have healthier vitamin levels versus babies that do not use it. The first test for it would be if the vitamin solution actually works the way it is supposed to. In order to test this, samples of saliva would be taken from babies and the vitamin levels would be tested. The samples would then have the vitamin solution added and be left alone to dissolve. The vitamin levels of each sample would then be tested again to see if there was any change after the solution was added. If the first test is successful, a second test consisting of two groups of animals would be performed. First, both groups would have their vitamin levels tested and recorded.They then would be given a scheduled diet and sleep cycle so that those factors do not affect the results of the experiment. In addition to the normal food, one group would receive a portion of the vitamin solution. The animals would receive periodic check-ups throughout the experiment to test their vitamin levels. In order to ensure that bias does not affect the experiment, the people performing the check-ups would not know whether or not the animal they are checking has been given the vitamin solution. Each check-up would be recorded until the trial was over. At the end of the trial, the levels of both groups would be compared to see if the device had the desired affect of improved vitamin levels. |
