Does Fitbit sense work in Africa?

I would think the basic functions would work in any country that your current Fitbit works in. 

SpO2 and the ECG may not work until the trail stirs of the country give approval.

The list of supported countries for the ECG functionality are listed at the bottom of this page (here).

Thank you for your response.It is most dis heartening to note that this sense is not accessible to Africa... a bit racist?Sent from my Galaxy

@PolyDean. Certainly not racist.

A lot of these "medical" features depend on Fitbit getting regulatory approval in each country. You can't just start selling a device which claims to track certain medical conditions (in this case AFib), it first has to pass strict criteria set by the countries medical regulator.

So in this case, Fitbit has had to disable this feature until it passes the required certification.
