Wearable Technology Validation & Journal Publication Wearable technology companies should recognize the importance of providing products to consumers that are independently validated for accuracy and deliver reliable and meaningful data. The Sport Product Testing (SPT) group recently wrote a manuscript from one of our studies for Polar Electro that has been accepted for publication in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE) titled “Validation of Polar ElixirTM Pulse Oximeter against Arterial Blood Gases during Stepwise Steady State Inspired Hypoxia” and is now available ahead of print at the link below: https://lnkd.in/g7VpqAFP In this study we evaluated the accuracy of SpO2 measurements from Polar ElixirTM Biosensing Technology compared to SaO2 measurements from direct arterial blood samples during stepwise steady state inspired hypoxia at rest. This study followed the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) protocol for evaluating the SpO2 accuracy of pulse oximeter equipment. Please reach out to the SPT group (pstergiou@csialberta.ca) for more information on how we can help validate your wearable devices! #producttesting #wearables #wearabletech #accuracy #sportproducttesting #healthwellness #wearabledevices #wearabletechnology #polarelectro Polar Electro Oy Garmin Fitbit (now part of Google) Apple ŌURA Xiaomi Technology Samsung Electronics Cardiex Wahoo Fitness Synapsis Medical Technologies Inc.

Wheelchair Basketball Athlete Testing The CSI Calgary Sport Product Testing group is currently recruiting individuals to participate in a research study investigating how different wheelchair seating conditions affect upper body mechanics and performance metrics during wheelchair basketball specific movements. Participants Males & females ages 18+ who regularly participate in wheelchair basketball, or are proficient at using a basketball-specific chair. Player Class 3.5 or higher. Testing Protocol • 4 different seating conditions will be tested during the testing session (flat, backward tilt, forward tilt, and pushed forward). • Small accelerometers will be taped on the head, arms, and torso. • Two video cameras will record each trial for 2D-analysis. • Surveys will be administered after each seating condition. Time Commitment • The entire testing session should take approximately 1 – 1.5 hours. • Testing is ongoing and will continue into mid-February if necessary. Location • Testing will take place in a gym space at the CSI Calgary, located in the Markin MacPhail Centre at Winsport (COP) in NW Calgary. Compensation • A $50 Sportchek gift card will be given as a thank you for participating. If interested or have questions, please email Monica at mrussell@csicalgary.ca and use the subject line: Wheelchair Basketball Study. Please include name, phone number, DOB, player class, and January/February availability (e.g. weekdays after 3pm, weekends only, etc) in your email. Please forward to anyone that may fit the requirements and would be interested. Thank you!

Happy Holidays and all the best in 2024 from our team at SPT. May the new year bring health and prosperity to all.
