When I say the way of blackberry, I mean Fitbit is doing that by not been proactive. 

The ionic has the sensors but Fitbit is More concentrated on social application rather than fir and health. This will leas the company the way of the blackberry. They still around but they are not longer relevant. Or even worse the way of the palm pilot.

Moreover, the study you mention was done by Cardiogram, not Apple. While obviously their Apple Watch app had a head start, enabling them to complete this particular study,, Cardiogram plan to build a Fitbit SDK app too: https://www.macworld.com/article/3253341/software-health/cardiogram-diabetes-apple-watch.html
