First of all I would like to say I am a very satisfied owner of Fitbit HR. I especially enjoy the vibrating alarm option that is included with it.
My wife and I were talking about her 95 year Mother and the care she is providing for her when the idea hit me.
How about Fitbit Assist.
This would be a Fitbit designed for the elderly Parents/ People who would like/need reminders for wake up, meal times breakfast, lunch and dinner, medication times maybe four times a day that do not coincide with meal time all through the convenience of a vibrating wristband that is not only a watch but a reminder tool easily programmed from your phone or pc. The step counter and heart rate monitor would provide them useful information of their activity for the day. But don’t stop there the sleep logging is a great feature to track your sleeping habits and make improvements for a better nights rest. What son or Daughter wouldn’t want their Mom or Dad to have one on their wrist? Not only is it a practical gift but functional too.
Features would include some of the current HR features with the addition of messages for the alarms:
Wake up/ Bedtime Alarm with scrolling message & vibrating wristband
This is a great idea and I'm sure you will be happy to know that our newest Watch, the Ionic has been designed to be water resistant and swim-proof, which is great if you'd like to use it for swimming activities. Additionally, the Ionic has built-in GPS, color screen and detachable bands.

Hi @NShrock and commenters, these Feature Suggestions have now been implemented in the new Fitbit Ionic!

It has a color screen and GPS - you can learn more about Ionic here.
