Using fitbit with stress test

[RS_Thailand]

Has anyone ever using the charge2 with EKG / stress test ( electroded attached around the chest).  I wonder wearing charge2 may affect or alter the result of the test? My test turned out normal anyway but just wondering if it is false normal.

I understand that charge2 is using light censor and algorithm on the wrist to monitor heart rate which I am not sure whether this technology would create any electronic signal which may interfere the electrode attched to my chest or not.

Besides the device is using bluetooth to connect to the mobile phone so I just wonder if this radio signal will interfere with the Medical device such as Stress test / EKG.

I don't see the Fitbit interfering with the test.  I've worn a chest strap and a fitbit simultaneously a number of times without issue.

did the person administering the test ask you about your fitbit? I also can't see how it would interfere, but if you are concerned about it, call the clinic where you had the test done and ask the question. I am sure they will tell you that everything including your heart are A-OK.
