Blood pressure Fitbit device with historical tracking

It would be great if Fitbit either created a blood pressure monitor and a glucose monitor that would sync with the dashboard or if they would team up with another company (Omron, diabetic community app) to have their product sync with the dashboard instead of having to manually enter it.

I remembered being able to do this and was very disappointed when I found it this feature had been removed. Please add manual blood pressure tracking back.

It would be nice if we could at least have a dashboard widget where we could manually add our Blood Sugar readings... Please 🙂

Are there any plans to be able to log medications and blood sugar levels if the fit bit app? Or is there a third-party app that communicates with the Fitbit app and shares this information? Would love to have everything in one app! Currently I use OneDrop for blood sugar, food and medication logging.

Please can you make the revised blaze water resistant so can at least swin to 10ft dept if not diving so can be used for normal swimming with function added to exercise and also put something to monitor blood pressure on the watch and on the app. Blaze screen is cheap plastic and should changed to glass to avoid scratching and a rubber cover made for it if you wish to carry in pocket to log stamps on days out when you wish to wear a normal watch. As a watch fan I hate the fact my steps are lost as can not carry in pocket as screen gets damaged. Make better quality of tablet

Another upvote for blood pressure tracking, even if it's manual. I need to check as part of a potential hereditary condition - being able to keep a history is vital. Currently using another solution to track it, but shopping about for a company who can provide it as an all in one.

At 53, I've just been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure.

 

I'm using a separate app to track it, but it would be great to be able to manually log into the Fitbit App.

 

Charge 2.

Adding my voice to wanting to be able to track BP via the Fitbit app.  Having a wireless BP cuff that syncs with the app is something I would consider buying. Or at the very least, have somewhere we can log BP manually.  I hate having a million different apps to track things.

Blood pressure monitoring on the charge 2 would be a great addition as I have seen similar products that feature this.

I'd love a Fitbit that could track heart rate as well as blood pressure.

It would be a great help to have blood pressure monitoring built into the fitbit wearable's.

I think a great idea would be to add blood glucose to the dashboard that could be entered manually in the app and through Alexa fitbit skill.   There's a fitbit skill for Alexa, but it can only read info from the fitbit app.  It would be really awesome if the fitbit app and the Alexa fitbit skill were interactive with each other.

Again...why doesn't Fitbit just do it.

Omron is making a blood pressure monitor that you can wear all of the time called Zero. It is supposed to be released this summer.

I have reactive hypoglycemia and also do regular blood glucose tests. Would really like all my stats on one app. Please add a blood glucose tile 🙂

Most of us diabetics already have a preferred blood sugar measuring device.  I am therefore not asking for some sort of automatic feature but simply for a widget where we can enter our daily blood sugar readings.  That means it shows up in a similar place to tracking calories, exercise, sleep and weight loss. When I go to the doctor I can show her all these other features and what is happening but have to resort to a spreadsheet if I want to graph my blood sugar levels and see if their is any correlation.  I am not asking for some fancy automatic blood sugar reading device to be added to my Blaze.  What is measures at the moment is fine.  But on the app some sort of means of recording my daily Blood Sugar Readings.

Yes! I don't mind manually logging it in daily just to have all my stats on the same app

I am type 2 and log my bg and bp in a separate app. 

Come on fitbit, make it so that I can log these numbers within the fitbit app

I would like to see fitbit integrated with all cgm's  (continuous glucose monitoring) I know they have a partnership with Medtronic and although I am a Medtronic pump user I prefer the dexcom cgm becuase it is more reliable. I want to look at my watch and see my blood sugar. Dexcom can be viewed on Apple Watch so the technology is there. The IT at Fitbit and Dexcom need to work together to write the code.

I will subscribe to Premium the day that Fitbit provides me SOME means of dealing with my Diabetes.  I don't need a monitor.  Just a place to enter my glucose readings so that I can help myself.  The Web site, at least, shows my carb totals for the day.  That's great.  All I want is the chance to track it.

For example, MyFitnessPal allows me to create a custom measurement blank.  I just call it "AM Blood Sugar" and put my results there.  MFP then lets me see the history as I fill it in.  They aren't tracking it.  Just letting me track it myself within the app.

That's a powerful feature not just for diabetics.

I'm not asking you to do this for me.  Just give me a place to integrate it into my own fitness information.  Even without the reporting, I'd consider this a worthy feature to go premium.

Adding medication with the option for reminders would be very helpful as one of my medications is a patch which needs changing every 72 hours!

I currently use Google calendar for reminders but it would be handy to have it all in the same App.

Dear FITBIT developers

you ou have a great product, but I am really disappointed in Fitbit that you do not have any blood pressure feature, external app or at least manual log in the dashboard.

i think blood pressure monitoring is far more important than to have the water intake. i would expect Fitbit to solve that matter really fast, despite having so many people request for it.
This feature has benn requested since over 2 years, and still no updates, it would be easy for Fitbit to add a manual input in the dashboard

I do expect more from the supposed to be leader in fitness tracker.

i enjoy my Fitbit product, but the next one might not be a Fitbit if you do not work hard to stay the leader.

And it would be nice if Fitbit takes an official stance on the issue

It is a great idea if blood sugar readings are also tracked along with health parameters now available on the dashboard of Fitbit. This will help in analyzing cause and effect rather the correlation between the parameters and diabetic status.
