Summary/Discussion

Possible Improvements:

Some design flaws on the Spree fitness headband include the temperature scale on the app, the design of the headband itself, and the range of the sensor. Recommendations to compensate for these design flaws include creating a sensor to accurately read temperature and instead of the current scale based off a qualitative range. In order to improve the design of the headband itself, the material of the headband could be changed in order to better absorb sweat and make the headband more attractive, instead of a removable block sensors the sensors could be embedded across the headband for more accurate readings, the shape could be changed for a more aesthetic appeal, and different sizes of the headband could be made available for a better fit among customers. Another way to improve customer satisfaction would be to create a universal app that allows both android and iphone users to utilize this health utility. A final way to improve the app would be to design the sensors in the headband so that they can store data and not always have to be within range of the phone.
