Available with Fitbit Sense, it can be found in the new stress management tile in the Fitbit app. “Fitbit’s new Stress Management Score calculates how your body is responding to stress based on your heart rate, sleep and activity data. To use the new feature, users just have to place the palm of their hands over the face of the device, with the Sense then detecting small electrical changes in the sweat level of the skin and thus determine the body’s response to stressors. While similar readings are also available on other devices, Fitbit Sense is the world’s first smartwatch with a dedicated EDA sensor. While many factors can affect your heart rate, like stress or temperature, a high or low heart rate may be an indication of a heart condition that requires medical attention, such as bradycardia (heart rate that is too slow) and tachycardia (heart rate that is too fast),” Fitbit explains.įitbit Sense also ships with an EDA Scan app, which detects electrodermal activity and helps determine the level of stress. “With 24/7 continuous heart rate tracking, Fitbit Sense can detect and send a notification if your heart rate is outside your thresholds. Then, the new PurePulse 2.0 tech, which includes an upgraded heart rate sensor, powers low heart rate notifications.
The Sense requires users to hold their fingers on the corners of the stainless steel ring around the watch for 30 seconds, and then the smartwatch generates an ECG that can be downloaded to a computer.įitbit says it offers this functionality to allow users to share the ECG with a doctor for additional information, as the feature is supposed to help detect signs of atrial fibrillation. The new smartwatch continues to run Fitbit’s proprietary operating system but comes with a series of new features, many of them focused on improving the health of the users.įirst and foremost, there’s ECG support, something that’s already available on the Apple Watch and select Samsung devices.
Fitbit has just announced the new Fitbit Sense smartwatch, a successor to the Ionic but whose design is heavily inspired by the Versa.
