The atrial fibrillation (AFIB) detection feature of the fitbit is eventually live after its FDA approval and ready to be very good for its users. AFIB is a heart condition where a person's heartbeat rhythm is irregular, which makes them susceptible to things such as stroke, heart attack and other important heart conditions. Now that your fitbit is able to detect AFIB, the wearable technique can only save your life.
AFIB affects millions of people globallyBut it is difficult to detect in its early stages due to the general decrease of noticeable symptoms before putting the lives of serious people in danger and threatening. Fortunately, the AFIB detection feature of the fitbit can notice irregular heartbeat and alert the wearer if they are displaying symptoms of Afib.
The rollout of the feature began this week and will currently continue for those in the US for the next several weeks, this feature is available only in one area, but Fitbit has expressed that it wants to expand the facility in other areas as well, but it will take time.
Once the feature is added to your fitbit app, you will be informed whether your device detects any heart rhythm issues through the “Today” and “Discover” tab in your app. The company told 9to5google This recommends that fitbit users check the tab on a daily basis to stay with their heart health and to be informed.
The fitbit makes sure to ensure that its identification facility cannot diagnose a person with AFIB, but simply collects heartbeat data and informs them to interact with their doctor about a possible diagnosis.
The list of fitbit equipment supporting AFIB facility is as follows:
- Fitbit Charge 3
- Fitbit Charge 4
- Fitbit Charge 5
- Fitbit Inspire 2
- Fitbit Lux
- Fitbit sense
- Fitbit View 2
- Fitbeit View 3
- Fitbit Jiss Light
The software behind the detection feature makes it simply to run and does not require a relatively new ECG monitor that has the latest wearing technology. As a result, old devices such as charge 3 and Inspire 2 are capable of using features. To use AFIB detector, make sure the latest firmware update is downloaded in your Fitbit.
