[Learn More] How Fitbit’s Body Response feature detects stress

[LeticiaFitbit]

Take a moment to check out our latest blog How the Fitbit stress test function works and how we tested it pt. 1 and pt. 2 to learn how the new Body Response feature for Sense 2 was built and designed. 

The new feature can help detect when your body is showing signs of physical stress, thanks to changes in heart rate, skin temperature, and even micro-sweat levels on your skin.

Have you tried the new feature? If so, how has it helped you manage your stress? Join the discussion below and share your stress-less tips.

I note the exact reason of stress by logging it, then i either use the relax feature for 2 mins of deep breathing to get my mind to relax or use the walk feature, this is mostly since with slow jogging where the cadence is 180 RPM

I'm keen to understand how we can access what's happened. What were the measures, how did it change to trigger the "body response"?

Yes, this has picked up on a frustrated discussion but by far, over dozens of notifications, nothing special was happening with mood - the real change was getting up to do something. I think there will have been a change in heart rate & I think something else is going on. It would be good to be able to capture this but with limited mood descriptions this is going to be hard.

It seems this is a promising feature that could offer more. How can we access the data?
