morning all and my deepest commiserations
guys, this is probably about the worst time in hell for me to say this - but, I guess I owe it to you all to tell you.
My CTO pinged several issues with the tech. and we discussed them with RAP reps. at a tech know show - ?? last year from memory.
We believed there were serious issues - he was treated with respect from memory - but, his concerns were put aside as being - known issues.
Your question as to whether results can or cannot be improved under these conditions -
we believe they can be addressed in a variety of ways.
Just on the ambient noise issue - and, this is just my thoughts alone -
ambient noise in a hospital situation is surely accepted as being undesirable for any testing to do with sound or noises -
if this technology is so good ---------------- do it in a booth - just like one does audio testing.
small booths aren't expensive and the cost saving from the tech would well overcome it rapidly. A booth also takes up very little space - and, of course - one can also use it for audio testing.
I can't remember my techs thoughts on the model differences - I clearly remember that he was concerned about Android machines compared to Apple.
Windows machines would have the same issues as Android. - ie. Apple controls the hardware that runs IOS - whereas - any tom dick or harry can build hardware and run android or windows - so, you have no control over hardware.
hope this helps
sorry again for your pain today

I was thinking along the lines of a booth too, but that introduces potentially uninfected children to infected children. Similarly, with a noise insulating transportable crib or screen, which could be coughed all over with aerosolised nasties, thence spread around the ED by hands touching it.
If agreement was less than 50 percent for pneumonia then that is pretty damning, basically worse than flipping a coin.
