Sports sensors vs scientifically validated physiological sensor for medial and research grade application

Last Updated on March 11, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

According to this table:

the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio has more views on YouTube than DC Rainmaker. We conclude, that more viewers on YouTube are interested in information from the Cleveland Clinic than from DC Rainmaker. The Cleveland Clinic does clinical studies, but not DC Rainmaker and Rob ter Horst on his YouTube channel. Still, those two are very popular.

We are interested in devices which are tested for clinical and research applications.. Does not a majority of YouToube viewers also prefer scientifically validated data which are validated with numerical and statistical data? For sports sensors, only view studies are available.Since several years we miss data which have a high quality standard. We will let go of sports sensors as soon as possible, and replace those by clinical and research grade sensors. But sports sensors are easier to use.

But we miss for instance for ECG and EEG devices a community of academic developers which make them easy to use. Sports sensors have this community, as for instance Rainer Blind, Max Candocia, Jukka Happonen, Andreas Bader. But do not scientists prefer physiological sensors which are not doubted about as far as the accuracy is concerned by scientist and medical doctors?
