Overall Health Score

[FeketeEDU]

I think it would be awesome to see an overall health score that analysizes your day and gives you a "score" as to how you have done with activity, water, sleep, nutrition, etc...  Then instead of managing each individual data point, you could monitor and track your progress against your Fitbit score.  

This could also become social and gamify the Fitbit app.  You can share your score and compete against others and their scores.  There is so much that could be done here.

I think what would be great is a more global metric, a sort-of 'Fit Score'.   This would be formula based on steps, activity, heart rate, sleep, etc.  Everything counts into one score.   So if Jane has 15k steps, and Sally does an hour of a studio workout with an elevated HR, but only clocks 8k steps - how can these metrics be compared apples-to-apples?  This could be used in challenges as well as a better way to score your overall effort.

Thanks!

Hi @FeketeEDU thanks for sharing this idea... this is an interesting idea! I like the concept of statistic that covers a few different data point and that you can compete against your personal best type thing! Interested to hear what others think - you've already got quite a few votes. Is this of interest to others? What stats would you want this to include? eg. steps, active mins, sleep, nutrition etc...

My thought is that it would be interesting to use the dashboard and assign a point value to each of those items.  It may differ in weighting of categories.  Then these together would combine for our overall daily and then weekly health scorecard.  Hope that helps.

It would be great if fitbit would give you a score for sleep and exercise. Then it could provide you with a general health score each day. I believe it would be more motivating and more representative of global health than trying to reach 10 000 steps per say.

Add an overall health score that compares an individual to their goal state (or suggested goal state). I am using VERI for CGM and like their overall number to give a quick peek before diving into details. Plus, the more info I track the more insightful it is.
