Milind Desai is the last author of two papers about smartwatch accuracy:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6732081
These two papers came to the conclusion that Apple watches are the most accurate smartwatches. But if we summarize the papers which are currently available about smartwatch accuracy into one review:
We can see that these paper do not use the same testing protocols:
So that data from one paper cannot be compared to data in a second paper. This is somehow striking that no one ever has tested systematically and over a longer period of time smartwatch accuracy in scientific papers. The only one who tests smartwatch accuracy now scientifically is Rob ter Horst:
Is there a stragedy behind all of this? A stragedy which increases the sales rate of smartwatches? But a stragedy to not to publish the truth about smartwatch accuracy, and that is that they are only of limited use for scientific studies?
The Cleveland Clinic where Milind Desai does research is at the highest level internationally, And so does the Research Center for Molecular Medicine (CeMM) in Vienna, where Rob ter Hort works. But are their studies about smartwatch accuracy at the highest level internationally?
Is there a stragedy behind this which is coordiated internationally to cheat the smartwatch buyers by not studying smartwatch accuracy systematically and scientifically in scientific papers, but only by one or two testers on YouTube?
