Health Predictions & Advice Based on Data and Predicting Illness

[oBoy]

Imagine, if you will, waking up in the morning and syncing your fitbit to your smart phone. Your sleep dashboard tells you that you might want to try getting to bed early tomorrow because you missed your sleep goal by an hour.

Then you log your breakfast -- a giant egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich -- and your Calorie dashboard tells you that you might wanna lay off the calories for lunch so you can have a substantial dinner without surpassing your calorie goal.

You go on your usual morning run, and your heartrate tile tells you that your average heart rate was 5 beats lower than last time -- keep it up. And blah blah blah, so on, so forth until you go to bed.

The next morning, you have a "morning briefing" that tells you what your overall stats -- and suggestions to improve, health warnings, and things to watch -- from the day before were.

Basically, artificially intelligent algorithms that explain to you what your data mean instead of leaving it to the FitBit user to draw conclusions himself.

I would like to be able to set a custom alert when my resting heart rate goes up by a given percentage.  It seems to predict I’m going to be sick before I see any symptoms.

Hello @Wasabi85.

Thanks for taking the time to share your idea! I definitely could see how being able to predict that could be useful to get a better overview of your body. 

Let's see what other users think about it.

I"m on board with this - it would be great for epileptics!

You should add a respiratory tracker like Whoop has done which can help predict if a person will get the virus.

Most definitely want resting heart rate increase alerts. I noticed mine rose a few years back before I was hospitalised with a fever, but there was no alerting from Fitbit's side which would have given me earlier warning. I only noticed it after I was discharged and I went to check out my Fitbit stats.

Anything that can help give early alerts for rising fever etc would sell well right now.
