The “PAWPER-on-a-page”: Increasing global access to a low-cost weight estimation system

The PAWPER tape is one of the most accurate weight estimation systems available today, but international access to the tape is limited because it has no commercial distribution. For this reason, the “PAWPER-on-a-page” concept was devised: downloadable image files that allow users to print and assemble their own tapes. However, the feasibility of this method is dependent on users being able to produce accurate tapes. This study was devised to determine whether untrained participants could print and assemble the “PAWPER-on-a-page” easily and accurately
