The R correlation is .1928, which is extremely low, showing that the spree headband is almost completely inaccurate. On the other hand, the Spree headband measures the heart rate fairly accurately compared to the gold standard since the p-value was .6708, which is >.05, meaning it is statistically similar. The R correlation is .78, which is close to 1, which would mean a perfect correction, therefore showing that the device could use improvements, but is fairly accurate. The suggestion for the Spree Headband would be to completely scrap their current temperature since it is does not reflect the true temperature of the body, or to stop advertising that the device can read temperature. Experimental Design of Own Device To test our design we would start with a large sample size of at minimum 300 women within the age range 18-80. A simple random sample would be utilized to select the subjects. Once a month, for a year, each woman would be tested for breast cancer, or differences in tissue density, with a mammogram as well as our device. Those who are reading the results will not know which device they are reading from to avoid bias. If the mammogram detects any discrepancies, our device should as well, making the mammogram the gold standard. We would compare the accuracy of the mammogram to detect density discrepancies to the ultrasound patch's ability to detect density discrepancies. Our device should match the accuracy of a mammogram or be more accurate. To analyze the data, we would use a paired T-Test because we would be comparing two data entries for each person.
