Summary/DiscussionThe start up company, Suntronic has asked us to test one of the latest heart rate and temperature monitors for smart phones by Spree Sports. To test the validity of the Spree Sports head band and app, temperature and heart rate readings from the device were compared to temperature and heart rate readings from oral thermometers and pulse oximeters. The readings given by the oral thermometers and the pulse oximeters are considered the gold standard. Upon comparing the results from the Spree Sports sensor to the thermometers and pulse oximeters, several design flaws were noted. The initial flaw noticed in the design was the bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth system of spree doesn’t work very well, so there was difficulty syncing the Spree sensor to the electronic applications on the smart phones. If the bluetooth connection cannot be improved, it is recommended that each Spree sensor come with a code that can be manually put into the application on the phone.
However, the values obtained from the T-test for the temperature calculations were not significant (percent error=7.6187E-15). The Pearson correlation was far from 1 (Pearson's R=-0.02886) because the temperature measurements given by the spree were different from the gold standard temperatures. This indicates that the Spree sensor and app have critical flaws that need to be fixed in terms of temperature readings.
