IDEEA Accuracy

Capabilities and Accuracy

Accuracy of Speed Measurement

  The accuracy of speed measurement is 99.3±3.6% (N=112). Speed predicted by IDEEA compared with the actual speed while a subject (male, 72kg, 174cm, 43yr) walks and runs on a treadmill.  


Energy expenditure and work estimation

  The accuracy in energy expenditure estimation is 98.1±5.3%. Comparison of EE predicted by IDEEA and measured by a room calorimeter. Error = -2.52%, absolute error |error| = 6.9%. The major error was caused by low efficiency during continuous sit/stand cycles.  


Cumulative EE (total calories consumed)

  Cumulative results (integration) of the same measurement above. Note error is less than 3%, due to the cancellation of positive and negative errors.  


Accuracy in Activity Type Detection (76 subjects)
