Figures & data

Figure 1 Data transfer of the SPBP system.

Notes: Dispenses are performed through an app on the mobile phone. Time and temperature data are registered when the dose is successfully dispensed, and then loaded to an online platform.

Figure 6 Bland–Altman to evaluate the bias between the measurements of the internal temperature sensor and external temperature logger.

Note: In this plot, the difference between the two paired measurements is set out against the average of the two paired measurements.
