My wife had a stroke 18 months ago, fortunately it turned out to have few lasting effects. Apparently she had been having arterial fibrillations for a long time. When that happens, the lack of coordination between heart parts causes blood to pool in the ventricle. Sometimes it will coagulate and lead to a stroke. Her blood pressure monitor that she uses on her wrist not only gives her blood pressure, but tells her when she is having an irregular heartbeat. If Fitbit could include the ability to monitor this kind of irregularity, many people could be prevented from having a stroke. It would get medical personnell a good history and alert people who have been unaware of the irregularity. I hope Fitbit can make this happen.
