Hi, @Said96 , you can certainly use one Fitbit to monitor more than one person, each for a short period of time - if I understand your question correctly. However the process of collecting and reconciling the data might be a little cumbersome. Basically for each participant in the study you would need a separate Fitbit account. (Presumably you would want to manage the account yourself, so you would need a separate email address for each one, which you set up.).
Then it would be a matter of linking the Fitbit to the appropriate account, then giving the Fitbit to the study participant for the relevant period (24 or 12 hours), recovering the Fitbit and syncing to the account, then clearing the user data from the Fitbit before linking it to the next account and giving it to the next participant - and repeat.
When you have finished the study you will then have to export the data from each account for you to collate and analyse. So the short answer is “yes” but I think it would be very difficult except for a fairly small number of participants if you are proposing to use only a single Fitbit and sharing it amongst your study participants!
Many apologies if I have misunderstood your question!
