ECG app not supported in Finland

[MEVAAN]

SpO2 is working but no ECG app in Finland. What is the reason while it works in all neighbouring countries and in most Eu. Whe have Oura, apple watch and many other devices having ECG but Fitbit not. 
For me the reason to replace my old Sense with Sense2 was Fitbit ads telling in Finish the EGC works…

Hi @MEVAAN, welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

Thank you for letting us know that you want the ECG feature available in Finland. I understand your point. Irregular rhythm notifications and the ECG app will be available to additional countries and devices in the future, pending regulatory clearance.

At this moment, the ECG app and irregular heart rhythm notifications feature are only available in select countries and with select Fitbit products. In addition it is not intended for use by people under 22 years old. The irregular rhythm notifications feature is not intended for use by people with known atrial fibrillation. See here for additional details.

The best place to post your suggestion is the Product Feedback board in the Fitbit community. Please take a moment and give us your comments.

If you find a similar suggestion from another member of the community, you can vote for their suggestion and add your comments. We hope to see you there!

Thanks for yr reply.

I have common interest on my EGC. I’m 60+, active aiming to 20000+ steps a day, prone to non-dangerous side beats due to too much exercise, stress, coffee, alcohol or something else. I was going to change to apple iwatch but decided to stay with Fitbit as it was described to have EGC monitoring…

@MEVAAN   I'm not sure the Apple Watch ECG will give you the information you want.  Both Fitbit and Apple Watch ECG are looking for signs of atrial fibrillation.  Neither one can analyze a reading where there are a lot of "non-dangerous side beats."  This gets read as Inconclusive.  You mentioned being active.  A resting heart rate of less than 50 bpm is also read as Inconclusive.

You also mentioned Fitbit ads.  Did you see it in a Fitbit/Google ad or a third party ad?  I'm not a Fitbit employee. but Fitbit/Google is very serious about ad accuracy.  Always look for the fine print after an asterisk.

The ECG app is a medically regulated feature.  It needed approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to be released in the US.  It needs approval from the equivalent regulatory body in Finland for release there.  I might be wrong, but this looks like a 'Finland' issue, not a 'Fitbit/Google' issue.
