Integrate Fitbit with Headspace

[SunsetRunner]

Would be great to get Headspace to sync with the Fitbit app. The native Fitbit guided breathing is good, but very basic, and most people that try to practice mindfulness don’t want to look at a screen to do it. Making the app available on the ionic and versa would be awesome too!

I'd love to see something of this nature on Fitbit, I rely heavily on meditation and energy conservation techniques to deal with a chronic illness, it would be great to have some sort of compatibility

+1 for Headspace integration. The Fitbit Relax breathing app is handy though.

Headspace and other mindfulness apps would be a valuable addition to the ionic. I know of several users who would benefit. Would be great to see these apps in there soon!

Fantastic idea.  Mindfulness is definitely a key wellness cornerstone.

Headspace already syncs with Apple Health.  Should be simple to do the same with Fitbit .

Many thanks,

Danni.

Agree - Mindfulness apps like Headspace, Waking Up, 10% Happier, etc. Please add them to the fitbit app. They are clearly health and performance related apps. Why not track them in one spot?

[JDtheFit]

BTW, would love to see heart rate observable during meditation and tracking of meditation times. Especially if bouncing between apps (Headspace, Waking Up, Ten Percent Happier, and the most excellent Insight.

I too think it would be a great idea to link a mindfulness app to Fitbit.  I just bought the Versa 2 after having the blaze for a few years. I’m loving the Versa 2 and have seen that if you buy premium you could use whil.  I tried downloading whil to test it first but it only lets you DL the app of you have a sponsor like your boss.  I’ve read the reviews for whil and while it might help some, it doesn’t seem to be what the Fitbit community is asking for. Not what I’m looking for either. I use headspace and have used calm in the past. This is what seems to be more popular for many reasons. Also tracking your mindfulness time and setting a goal would work wonders for myself and I believe others too. Just my two cents. Til then? I’ll just enjoy the apps separately. 🙂

Any more updates on this idea?  I’d love for the heart rate tracker to alert me when my BPM go up to stop and breathe if I’m not exercising.

My suggestion is something like this :-

a) Enhance the Relax app with 10 , 15 and 30 minute sessions. 5 mins is too less. 

b) Log relax data into the exercise log so that we can see by the end of month how much we have progressed.

I would love if I was able to sync my Headspace to the Fitbit. This could count towards mindfulness. If there was a way to open meditations through the watch itself that would be amazing. But even if it just tracked the time in the Fitbit app would be helpful.

Would love to be able to log my meditations from Headspace and Calm as I use them more frequently than the mediations offerings in the Fitbit app.

[pschne]

You should add meditation as a shortcut to track in mindfulness.

[Laurs07]

Yes, agreed. Even if there isn’t integration it would be nice to be able to log it after.
