Dear Fitbit New Product Ideas,

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

Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner Alarm with scrolling message “Meal Time” & vibrating wristband

Medications morning, afternoon, and evening Alarm with scrolling message “Med Time” & vibrating wristband

If connected to their Cell phone – Display of caller name/number in scrolling message & vibrating wristband

Call reminder:

Alarm set: Alarm Repeats:

Heart Rate monitor:

Sleep tracker:

Step monitor:

Fitbit Share: Share info link to family members Fitbit

This is awesome for the family member to link up and see in real time what is really going on.

 Just how would the parent feel to see that their son, daughter or family member linked to their Fitbit performance and visa versa?

 Fitbit you have a great product and I hope these ideas can be incorporated to assist those who want to stay on top with Fitbit Assist.

Thank you for your time, have a great day.

FYI 3 meters,  is not considered to be swim proof,  this requires  a static test of 150 feet deep.

We don't need gps. Because it will make you charge your fitbit every day. We dont need this. One of the greatest pros of fitbit is the 7 day recharge.

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.

If you like to know more about the Fitbit Ionic, please refer to the following article: All About Fitbit Ionic.

Thanks for sharing your ideas!
