Quiz · Wearable Health Tech Project

Question 1What is the main purpose of the meeting between the two students and their tutor?

To plan a marketing campaign for a new range of wearable devices To complain about the low accuracy of wrist sensors during exercise To recruit one thousand office workers for a medical survey To plan a research project on whether wearable devices improve office workers' health

Question 2According to the tutor, what delayed the early stages of the students' work?

Waiting for ethical approval for the project Technical difficulties with the wrist sensors A shortage of funding for medical equipment The slow process of recruiting enough participants

Question 3What did Maya and Tom eventually decide to measure in their project?

Sleep quality Body temperature Heart rate Daily step counts

Question 4What advice did the tutor give about the number of participants?

They should survey one thousand office workers as Maya wanted They should use a smaller sample because data quality matters more They should recruit participants from several different countries They should double the sample to make the results convincing

Question 5According to the tutor, when can wrist sensors give unreliable results?

When the wearer has been sitting still for too long When the wearer is moving quickly When the battery of the device is running low When the wearer forgets to synchronise the data

Question 6What must every participant do before the students collect any data?

Give written consent to take part in the project Purchase a wearable device from the research team Complete a full medical examination at a clinic Attend a training session about the wrist sensors

Question 7What comparison did Maya suggest making during the meeting?

Comparing office workers with employees in local factories Comparing sleep tracking with heart rate measurement Comparing cheap devices against medical equipment used in local clinics Comparing the tutor's data with results from earlier studies

Question 8What had Tom assumed about the wearable devices before the meeting?

That they were too expensive for ordinary office workers That they had already been approved by local clinics That they could track sleep better than heart rate That they were always accurate in their measurements

Question 9What is the first task the students agreed to carry out?

Designing their own questionnaire for the participants Reviewing existing studies carefully before designing a questionnaire Interviewing office workers about their daily routines Testing the wrist sensors during fast physical exercise

Question 10What had the two students agreed on by the end of the meeting?

A realistic timetable for the term A budget for buying medical equipment A list of one thousand potential participants A plan to publish their results in a journal
