How Pylot manages poor data quality
Many wearables struggle with collecting accurate data, and while some devices fail to alert you to this issue, Pylot prioritizes transparency by notifying you when there are data quality problems. This approach is not only user-friendly but also allows for quick resolutions, ensuring you can maximize the benefits offered by the product.
Pylot's cognitive performance metrics depend heavily on the quality of the data collected by its EEG and PPG sensors, the latter being used to measure HRV. Poor data quality can occur in several ways:
If adjustments are necessary, please note there is typically a 5-8 second delay before the changes are reflected in the data quality feedback. For more details on resolving these issues, you can refer to this informative article.
It's common for there to be brief moments of suboptimal data during sessions with Pylot, but these short periods of poor data quality usually go unnoticed. The system is designed to handle and correct these minor blips effectively, meaning they have minimal impact on the overall quality and integrity of the session's data.
If there is a longer block of poor data (meaning you received an extended poor data warning), then this data is removed from your session summary to avoid misleading feedback.
