There's currently no way to identify the device that recorded the GNSS observation. Adding a UUID to each record would help identify potential biases present in different phone manufacturers and potentially allow for more accurate characterization of risk.
Recommend adding an imei [string] field to the gps_observation_points table and incorporating the Android API's TelephonyManager.getImei() method to collect and record the phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI).

Perhaps all of the phone's information could be recorded in a separate table to eliminate redundant data and placing any additional computational burden on the phone?
