Make a useful report for showing to medical professionals

I often want to share the information my fitbit records with my medical practitioners but the data exports make it very difficult for data interpretation. Please design reports we can share with them to show things like how activity levels affect sleep and anything else which the data recorded might be able to help them to recognise or diagnose any health issues.

Absolutely yes. I don't know how this isn't a given. What's the point of 24/7 heart rate monitoring if I can't do anythign with it? I can't even see the info. And what's the point of tracking sleep each night when I can't export any useful data? Fitbit raves about their product and its capabilities in order to sell units but neglects to mention that you can't even see this data. It's pretty weird, I think.

sad to see that Fitbit even scale down the export functionality recenlty with cancelling the export capability to MS Healthvault that was a great tool to collect such information, of course as sual no reason or root caseu was given just blah blah blah why they cancelled it ...

I really hope they come out with this. I was actually thinking about it earlier. It’s great that Fitbit has made so many strides in the health tracking field, but it would make an INCREDIBLE tool for doctors if there was a way to communicate the information to them.

If my friends can be ‘grouped’ to see my walking stats...

 

Why can’t I specify a portal where my Dr can get at-a-glance stats for anything we discuss & I setup?  How much I walk, how good/when I sleep, heart rate thru-out the day, etc. 

 

Somewhat like with accountability buddies, but one-way.

First -thank you for the Premium Wellness Report . This helps, can we add the option to export the data as it appears on the screen.  For example a screen shot of the sleep restoration graph or the Deep and REM graph and bar chart with the benchmarks.

I want to share this data with my doctor in addition to the summary Wellness Report.........................................

Thank you,

GTBill

Fitbit finally releases an update that allows me access to the features promised and show the data in Health Metrics on the App. There should be some other way to access this data, such as a report so I can share this information with my healthcare provider or others.

Hi @rfjouben, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option. Your Fitbit Premium Wellness Report details your activity, sleep, heart rate, and weight data up to the last 12 months. Export your Wellness Report from the Fitbit app to see your data or share it with a healthcare professional. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Released".I hope to see you around.

@YojanaFitbit I am not talking about the Premium Wellness Report data I am talking about the Health Metrics Dashboard on the App which is completely different information than the Wellness report unless they are going to update the Wellness Report to include this information which would also be a good idea. This is not something that is already released so I do not believe this request belongs in this post and should be posted under a different topic so people can see it and vote for this feature.

The Wellness Report is too high-level. I bought my Sense in order to track my sleeping. I would like to present all my sleep data to my doctor, but the "Restoration" information is not included on the report. I'll have to take screen shots and create a PDF to send to my doctor, which is ridiculous. Please create a more detailed report to include sleeping heart rate and estimated oxygen variation. Thank you.
