Average daily heart rate OR total heart beats per day, can I get either of them on my dashboard?

[01012021]

A recent article ( https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/health/heart-health-steps-smartwatch.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&... discussed a study of the improved predictive value of calculating average daily heart rate per daily steps, over the value of simply looking at heart rate or steps per day alone.  The study used Fitbit data, but I cannot figure out how to find an “average daily heart rate” or “total heart beats per day” on my dashboard.  I cannot see resting heart rate, and I can see range of heart rate, and I can see time in zones, but nothing seems to provide average daily heart rate or the total heart beats per day from which I could calculate the figure.  If this is available, can someone point me in the right direction?

Hello @01012021 and welcome to the Community.  Researchers have access to detailed Fitbit data when they do studies like this.  They use their research tools to calculate average heart rate and total heart beats per day.  The Fitbit app doesn't give either piece of information.

You can find your resting heart rate in two places.  Tap on your heart rate tile and it is below your heart rate graph.  It is also one of your Health Metrics.

Same same - read the article and am frustrated I cannot get my daily average heart rate. I can get daily resting, or average for a workout, but not daily average. Would love to know if it’s possible to find this number somewhere.

@AKIndyHouse   This information isn't available on the Fitbit app.  Another user posted this request in the Product Feedback forum.  Vote and leave a comment.  Comparing average daily heart rate and steps per day is a new idea.  I think any addition to the Fitbit app is a long way off.  This is one article, not a widespread recommendation of a feature that should be tracked.

I read the same article. Fitbit was used in the study, but I couldn't find how they dtermined average heart rate. Av heart eould be helpful.

Hello @AKIndyHouse , @Zosia10 

At the 20 Aug 2025 Made by Google event, they announced a new version of the Fitbit app is coming that includes a Health Coach using AI integration. I'm wondering if the Health Coach will be able to determine a user's average heart rate. If not at launch, then the ability to provide this information might come at a later update.
