Does someone know about flip phones that work with Fitbit trackers?

Has anyone found a flip phone that works with Fitbit? My father has Parkinson’s and can’t do the touch screen.

Hello and welcome to the forums @Mrsrags 

Is the main objective that your father be able to sync and view his stats on the dashboard? You can do that with a tablet and a computer, if he is able to do those. If you live near him, you could be sure he syncs his Fitbit and help him out.

I'm going to ask a moderator to edit the title of your post, just in case someone else might have had the same thing happen in their family and can offer more relevant advice.

Ok thank you so much Odyssey13! I wasn’t quite sure where to post this. He’s just recently changed from a smart phone to the flip phone. With the progression of his Parkinson’s he just can’t do the touchscreen. I’m not near him, but I think I can walk him through getting the Fitbit app on his Windows laptop. He has an old iPad 2, but from my understanding that isn’t compatible either. Being able to see his stats, sleep and heart rate history is really great data for us and the doctors. But he’s also suffering from hearing loss and some dimentia, so the reminders on his Fitbit to move or take medicine were great. The biggest thing he’s missing is the alert that he’s been used to getting of a phone call or message on his wrist, as he often doesn’t hear his actual phone.
