Low oxygen, excessive HR, and unusual heart rhythm/waveform (alert and documentation)

Please consider this for next generation devices.
It would be nice if I could get notifications/vibrations if oxygen gets too low or if my heart rate gets too high.
Alert and record unusual events like hypoxia, unusual heartbeats/waveforms that might be a warning of a heart conditions and pushing exercise too far.

I would love it if my Fitbit would vibrate if my oxygen levels got low. This could even save someone's life if they have sever sleep apnea!

Hi, I only became aware I had Atrial Fibrillation two and a half years ago when my heart rate went to 150 bpm for two days whilst at rest and a gifted Fitbit Charge 2 detected it. Now I've moved on to a Versa 3 but I find it essential for monitoring my heart rate. Doctors may say that it's not a medical device but I've never found it wrong. Recently I've got worse. I now have an irregular heartbeat. Two months ago I stopped getting a sleep score because it can't monitor my irregular heartbeat. There is definitely development opportunities there. There must be a lot more people out there like me. Cheers 🙂

I have recently been diagnosed with some heart problems.  My Cardiologist wants me to track a variety of things. Purchased the C5 to help with that.  However, it would be so amazing if these items could also be tracked: low oxygen, excessive heart rate, and unusual heart rhythm/waveform with an alert so I become mindful of when these events are occurring.

I got the fitbit charger 4 because my fathers Dr told him to get one and send him the result. I got one to see how it worked. Now I have the Charge 5.

 

I would like an option that if my father press for more than 5 seconds to would alert my Fitbit or a nurse that he have.

 

I posted it here since not all Fitbit are the same.

He has a buzzer but it has been 3 times that he called and the nurse didn't heard him but the downstairs'  floor did. It can even mark an event if its pressed an also an event on the other fitbit too.
