Estimated Oxygen Variability is live :D

Just review todays sleep stats, and was surprised by this:

I got EOV graphs appear two days ago going back to mid January, not sure when it actually started as Fitbit don't communicate with their customers.

Today it all gone, no EOV graphs for any nights including those that had them before.

Again no communication.

Have you tried restarting your fitbit?

I recently got the fitbit saw the graph once and thought this was really good and it could be good for those having breathing issues to enable them to monitor.  Pity it's no longer working I would like it back.

I have had times when my graph disappears. I find if I force quit the app then restart it, it reappears.

wow o was worried with my 2 spikes! How many high variations are something to be worried about? Can anyone answer?

This was exactly my point from my earlier posts Amanda. The way that Fitbit is presenting the data will only result in folk being concerned because there is no way to know whether this kind of result is relevant to your health or not. It is not just a complete and utter waste of time it is going to actually cause harm through folk worrying unnecessarily. The only way to know whether you are potentially at risk through low blood oxygen levels at night is to know what the actual blood oxygen levels are. The Ionic is capable of giving you that information but Fitbit have chosen not to to tell you. Why? I guess it’s because they don’t have regulatory approval for their results and are scared of being sued. If you want to know what your O2 levels are really like you need to buy a pulse oximeter. I carry one in my doctors bag. They are small, fairly cheap and easy. The trouble is mine doesn’t record the levels so I’ve no idea what happens when I’m asleep! If it’s any consolation I get two spikes from the Ionic data as well from time to time and I’m pretty sure I don’t have sleep apnoea.

Mine all of a sudden started working as well.

Same here. Seems I'm in the "low variability" range +95% of the time, with short spikes every several days (probably after a few drinks). 

So that's it. Not thinking about it anymore nor care about detailed data...

I’ve had the graph for about a week now.  It is very interesting, but without any numerical values it is difficult to “read” what I am seeing.  What would be considered “normal”?     I understand that this is not a “medical device”, but I would be curious to see a graph from a “normal” person vs someone with apnea or other breathing problems to know whether or not I should be concerned about what my graph shows and seek medical advice.  I know this would be difficult as every person is different, even among “normal” people as there are likely many variables which would influence the data.  I know I should always talk w/ my dr if I have any possible medical concerns, but yes, I am one of those that goes to the internet first (or else I probably wouldn’t be writing this comment).

[Amandapanda12]

You’re absolutely right, can’t even see the times ri check what kind of sleep you were in.. I’m presuming a couple of spikes Is normal unless of course it was every night

[aliciavogan]

My sleep screen shows me a box labeled Estimated Oxygen Variability, but there is no info in the box. What should I do? 

[Appin]

What should you do? Ignore it! It has no clinical value and will only cause you unnecessary worry if you pay any attention to it.

@aliciavogan

Are you using a Charge 3, Ionic or Versa?

All other devices have no Spo2 Sensor and cannot get the data for the Oxygen Variation Chart.

[Jobowen]

the EOV for weeks with my new charge 3. It disappeared five days ago !!! What can I do to get it back???

Try restarting your fitbit. Mine worked after I did that. Make sure the app
is up to date also

I can not find the Oxygen Variation Graph in my Fitbit charge 3, please help me? 

[AmyLynnH]

It’s in the app (with your sleep stats) not on the device.

[srmdnadem]

I am talking in my application in apple store
