The most commonly known and popular type. Sold for profit, to the average consumer and with absolutely on guarantees. Usually easy to set up and understand. Unfortunately exporting is not guaranteed and therefore comparing and predicting with data from other sources is hard, though workarounds can be found on github. No guarantees also means that the information the device pretends to measure could be completely made up. For an example buy an off-brand smart watch from any big online site. More commonly, the devices that really measure something often do not warn the user if the signal the device is getting is really bad. Perhaps some guarantees can be made through word of mouth and scientific studies.

For an example buy an off-brand smart watch from any big online site or look up the history of fitness trackers and distance.

Like commercial but with an FDA guarantee<ref>https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/medical-device-databases</ref> of sensor quality and therefore more expensive. No guarantee of data export and no workarounds. Usually devices for doctors to use will export the data to an app and a service for patients will not.
