Able to log blood pressure in the Fitbit app

I'd love a place to log blood pressure in the Fitbit app to allow a single location to track most health metrics would be awesome! Especially now that I can track blood glucose there as well.

I cannot tell you how much i have invested in with various watches like Apple and Fitbit. I have decided that Fitbit is the better solution for myself and my entire family. Fitbit focus is health which is key to us and has proven to be more reliable and longer lasting on battery use. Blood Pressure monitoring is vital to most people!

Even if it has to be entered manually it would be very helpful to add a tile where one could enter their blood pressure in the app.

Agree - would love to be able to manually record blood pressure in the log (like weight) to tie to other health metrics which are automatically or manually added.

I would love to see this feature my doctor has told me to keep an eye on my health so I bought a fitbit charger 5 and it's dose that I want it to do but it would be nice to have a space in the app to log blood pressure as this is one thing I need to keep track of

I used to use the blood pressure tracker when it was on the dashboard. It was so easy to track it while you are tracking other for fitness data. I still haven't found a decent tracker that was as easy and seamless as Fitbits. Please bring it back.

There should be a place in the app to record and track your blood pressure (BP). It should be an option under “health and fitness stats,” especially for those paying for the premium version. Or, at least an app available you can add on.

Thank you for the info. I have added my vote here as well. Please add the blood pressure log feature Fitbit!

As a minimum, we should be able to log blood pressure data into the Fitbit app.  Optimally, the Fitbit app should be able to sync the data from the Omron app, as the Google Fit app does presently.  

Just had my annual with my doctor and she really liked, and kept, the printed report that the Fitbit Premium service provides.  The one thing glaringly missing was the blood pressure data.

Please add this feature and allow automatic import from third party BP monitors.  For example, you can already important your weight from the Withings scale.  It would be great to be able also to sync automatically with Withings BP monitors.  I would like all my data in the same place and the Fitbit app would be a great place for that.

Excellent recommendations. I hope Fitbit considers all the suggestions regarding BP.

Just got a livongo blood pressure tester and scale.  Their app automatically puts both in.  You can also add your fitbit acout for your steps.  They also have sugar parts in the app.   Their app is what I wish fit bit would do.  Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

The proposal is to add the possibility in the Fitbit App to log blood pressure measurements manually.

Hi Julia, Thanks I missed this one. I liked the referenced post.

Anyway with this significant number of likes for a suggestion done more than a year ago, and an app update surely very minor to do for this, I am not wondering if Fitbit is really considering anything there.

 

I am new to the Fitbit ecosystem. I tried 3 other ones before. There are many easy software "quick wins" I see proposed in this forum like this one and I am wondering why Fitbit is not faster to react, especially now with the Google firepower in software development.

Let's see. Thanks in all case.

The Fitbit app (and Wellness reports) should give users the ability to log and track their blood pressure (inputted manually) as Fitbit has done with blood glucose/blood sugar) which would help users keep a record and ability to monitor their blood pressure over time

Please put a blood pressure log in the app. I don't know why this isn't already there. Samsung Health & Google Fit both have it. I don't understand why I can put blood glucose and period info but not blood pressure.
