For the Stryd foot pod, there are accuracy study data available from fellnr. We know one paper about Stryd foot pod accuracy which was published recently. We suggest to buy a Stryd foot pod on ebay. We suppose that probability is very high that the Stryd foot pod we buy on ebay has problems with the battery. We bought four of them second hand, and all of them have problems with batteries. Instructions how to replace the Stryd battery can be found in our journal. Be careful with Stryd replacement batteries which are sold in ebay shops. They might be delivered from sellers from Spain which will never arrive at you, as it has happened to us.
For other foot pods, we do not know anything about accuracy validation papers. Eventually it is worth to study the scientific literature about it, and build a foot pod by ourselves, which can be found in the scientific literature.
But if we are looking for a research grant, we suggest to study the literature about foot pods, to build a foot pod from scratch, attach it to InfluxDB, and to choose algorithms which are well established for foot pods in the scientific literature.
