Blood pressure Fitbit device with historical tracking

[tbarry27]

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.

Create a blood pressure monitor with Bluetooth to download into your Fitbit app.

I would like to see a Blood Pressure monitor add to features.

It is strange that this thread goes back to 2014 with no action from Fitbit.

Personally, I don't care if Fitbit doesn't have a device that takes blood pressure.  I have a cuff and can take it; I don't think it's too much to ask simply to have a place to enter the data in the app and keep the information in one place.

Noom can do this . . . if Noom can do it, so can Fitbit.

Nearly all smart watches do it now and ecg. Fitbit is being left behind in this field nut they don't seem to care!

I haven't seen a watch type device that reads blood pressure and I don't need one. I have a wrist BP reader and a cuff like they use at the doctor's office. I just want to be able to reduce the number of apps I use and to do this, I need the Fitbit app to allow input of my BP readings manually like it does for Glucose. It would be great!

It doesn't surprise me at all @Android-App  considering that in 2014 it would require adding a band with a pump and air bladder. 

Today, yes fitbit could (sort of) have this feature. It uses the timing between the ECG and when the pulse reaches the wrist. But first needs to be calibrated with your traditions upper cuff BP machine. Even then the readings are extrapolated, giving a reading that should, for most, be accurate enough.

I back the idea to be able to input blood pressure into fitbit app (like body temperature, weight, glucose)

[Rich_Laue]

@BVTJ78 the fitbit app use to have t is feature. However very few users tool advantage of this feature and it was dropped. 

[Enoelf]

@Rich_Laue Are you saying that the fitbit app once was able to log blood pressure and it was removed because few users used it? This thread has been going since 2014, I don't want to say you're wrong, but it sure seems like....you're wrong.

[PATruesdell]

What ? I hope not. I’ve never seen it pop in let alone get removed.

I'm long time Fitbit user and I remember days when manual logging was possible. But sadly it was remove. So it's true. I hope that one day this feature returns.

Track blood pressure through an app for Versa 2.

My husband has a generic smart watch and it takes a pretty accurate reading so somehow it can be done and should be.

Please add blood pressure to versac2

I can envision a ring sensor that is connected to the watch or your phone that can take blood pressure reading through expanding like a cuff. This type of sensor is always more accurate than ones without putting pressure on arteries/veins to get the sys/dia readings.

[pleighton]

It would be connected by bluetooth.

Amazfit added to there watch using optical sensor - c'mon Fitbit/Google surely you can do this?

All they need to do is integrate Cardiex / Atcor technology that is available now. Mobvoi is about to release a device with Crdiex tech.

Yes @Werehamster it uses a 1 point ECG and timing of the detected pulse in the wrist.

Basically the higher the Blood pressure the sooner the pulse is detected at the wrist. It also needs to be calibrated with a 3rd party BP cuff
