For example, the sensor headband is very tight-fitting on the user's head. If the user has a large head, it can often leave marks on their head and cause serious discomfort. Not only is this a negative in terms of comfort for the customer, it also is harmful when considering the actual measurement. Constriction of the head (especially in such a prominent manner) can seriously increase blood pressure due to this constriction, thus removing the possibility of measuring blood pressure accurately. Similarly, the temperature measurement can be affected by the extra work that the head must now do to keep blood flowing in those regions. Another problem is the bluetooth signal. IF this product were ever to get seriously popular, there would be a large chance that measurements might become difficult, as the proliferation of iphones looking for the specific sensor necessary might have some problems. Similarly, the lack of Android functionality removes a sizable market from using the device. A final note might be the vagueness and lack of specificity of the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor measures with 4 values, "1", "2", "3", and "4". These ranges house a large variety of temperatures, which might make it difficult to get any relevant information from the sensors on the slight variations in temperature that are relevant.
