Able to log blood pressure in the Fitbit app

I'd love a place to log blood pressure in the Fitbit app to allow a single location to track most health metrics would be awesome! Especially now that I can track blood glucose there as well.

Hey FitBit, this suggestion has been out there since at least 2017, time to step it up, the community is speaking.  You gave us the ability to track glucose, please give us the ability to track Blood Pressure. 

 

Hopefully this comment will motivate you...

I heard about livongo and the BP cuff talks right to the app and so does the digital scale.  You can tie your fit bit account to its app so. You have your steps. You can even export reports to your doctor.  Fitbit is behind the times for sure.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

We really need a way to track blood pressure as part of fitbit.  Even if the fitbit cannot measure, can we at least record it daily so it's all in one place upon exporting health data???

since Fitbit has added glucose tracking I am really surprised it hasn’t added in blood pressure.

 

For those of you who are unaware, there used to be a place for blood pressure logging.  It was removed in 2014 or 2015 - I am not sure why.  I do hope they bring it back.

Add a manual tracker in the Fitbit app to track blood pressure.

I love my fitbit. I now have had 2 but looking to upgrade and not sure if the next watch will be fitbit because i can't log my blood pressure and have everything in one log. I have been a premium subscriber for at least 2 years but If I have to pay another service to get my overall health report why should I continue with Fitbit and not have it on one app?

As has been mentioned in other Comments, there are very similar features in the app, such as water and food consumption, that could be easily and simply modified to allow for manual entry of one’s blood pressure data. This type of feature would be invaluable when going to a doctor appointment. I have used the Heart Rate data to apprise my doctor of my daily bpm and that way they can see trends and be better informed.

Please make provision to enter blood pressure readings in the app.

Hope this has gained enough popularity to implement. I am new to fitbit from Google fit, and that has a manual box pressure log. I miss having this option

This would be great! Would save me having to use the Google fit app for that one purpose

Provide the ability to manually track blood pressure as well as food to help provide a better overall health picture.

Blood pressure is called the "silent killer" and is a major issue for many people.  Its astonishing that Fitbit doesn't have a spot to manually record blood pressure readings.  As a fitness app, the lack of this feature is a major limitation for me and something where even though i just got started using the app itself i will be looking at other devices.

Blood pressure i have been asking for 2 years for you to update the phone app to include the ability to log my blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) just like you have for blood glucose readings. Surely this is a simple task.why have you not considered this as it is the most important data for everyone.

I'm sure they will get right on it now since you used capital letters this time.

I've upgraded my Fitbit device and returned to using Fitbit App. I'm dissapointed not to find a place to manually log my blood pressure readings. We're now in 2023. I have voted up the feature suggestion; I see it's been an ask for years. There's a place I can manually log my body fat percentage, and my menstrual cycle, but nowhere to log my blood pressure readings? Please adds this already. I don't expect my device to read my BP, I'm just tired of tracking this separately outside of the app. Thanks for considering.

Seems like this would be easy to add.  And, silly that it's missing.  I mean, if Glucose, and Menstrual Cycle, why the heck not Blood Pressure, one of the key health indicators!  Whenever I visit the doctor it's "Step on the scale, don't move while I scan your temperature, and...oh yes, put on this BP cuff and let it squeeze the snot out of your arm!!

I'm beyond disappointed with Fitbit.  We have been asking them to add the ability to enter BP for years without progress or a response. I'm going to look elsewhere for a better product.

I haven't found a clear answer why FitBit just can't have an area to log daily BP or Glucose readings. I have an exercise log, a diet log, a water log, stress log, mindfulness log - but no log for something so basic like noting BP/Glucose readings over time. It's a glaring oversight -no ignorance- of your customers' repeated requests for this need

@LizzyFitbit ... this was first raised in 2021.

 

As @Rich_Laue also noted it was previously suggested as part of the Glucose monitoring suggestion, and also had many comments / up votes.

 

How many votes does this require before Fitbit dain to think of it as a worthy for consideration? 

 

Even if the watch itself doesn't track blood pressure,  many of us have to,  or choose to,  monitor it manually,  and doing so in one app is always preferable.
