Focus group participants were asked to rate the passive wristband sampler (PWS) and the mobile spirometer using a Likert scale. When asked to rate the comfort of the wristband, 1 = very uncomfortable, while 10 = very comfortable. When rating the ease of use of the spirometer, 1 = very difficult, 10 = very easy. Participants were also asked to assess the use of the ELF and ELF Tracker in their daily lives, answering if they would wear/carry the wristband and cell phone continuously, as discussed in the pilot project.
