Automatic Hand-washing recognition feature

Status: Reviewed By Moderator Submitted by on ‎04-29-2020 11:03

All fitbit devices that can recognize movement as exercise should be able to recognize the specific movements related to washing hands. The user should be able to active a feature that will recognize hand washing activity and turn on a countdown timer, preset to 20 seconds but adjustable by the user, which will alert the user when the set amount of time has passed for effective hand washing.

this would be awesome and makes sense now that apple watch is doing it. Should be a quick thing to program, and you know, nice for basic health, even post COVID-19!

Wondering how many votes a suggestion needs to get someone at Fitbit working on it.
