Add sound alert for abnormal heart rate, SpO₂, or breathing rate notifications

Currently, when heart rate, SpO₂, or breathing rate go too high or too low, Fitbit only sends a silent notification in the app. Many users may miss these alerts. I suggest adding an optional sound or tune (about 30 seconds) when any vital crosses safe limits, so users can respond quickly.

Currently, when our heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO₂), or breathing rate (BR) goes too high or too low, the Fitbit app only shows a silent notification. But in real life, most users don’t check app notifications instantly — especially during sleep, workouts, or emergencies.

👉 My suggestion:

Fitbit should add an optional sound alert or tune (around 30 seconds) when any vital sign crosses a dangerous limit.

This way, users can immediately notice the issue and take action or contact a doctor in time, instead of missing silent notifications.

🎯 Why it matters:

Can help users respond quickly to serious health changes.

Could even save lives during heart or breathing irregularities.

Adds more real-world value to Fitbit’s health monitoring features.

Please consider adding this as an optional feature in the Fitbit app settings (so users can enable or disable sound alerts).

Thank you, Fitbit Team 🙏

That’s a smart suggestion a sound alert would definitely make those notifications more effective in real time. I’ve tested similar health tracking features in Y999 Game, and the quick response feedback made a noticeable difference.
