Following the roll out of the 90-day trial of its Premium feature, Fitbit has introduced a new tab in the app that offers helpful information, motivation, and resources about coronavirus disease.
Users with the Fitbit app and a Fitbit account in select countries, including the Philippines, can now see a new tab on the bottom right, titled COVID-19.
In this new tab, users can access tools to help them stay active and healthy from home, and stay up-to-date with the latest information from the World Health Organization.
In addition, the company said it is collaborating with The Scripps Research Institute and Stanford Medicine on important research to see if wearable data can help detect, track, and contain COVID-19.
These studies use data from wearables to determine if tracking changes in heart rate, activity, and sleep can provide an early indication of viral illnesses, like COVID-19, before actual symptoms start.
