The Slow Dissolution of Fitbit

The slow dissolution of Fitbit is a major challenge for organisations that have been utilising Fitbit hardware for their research studies and healthcare use cases. On the one hand, concerns are raised on how Google is handling the highly sensitive data collected by its newly acquired devices and on the other hand it is expected that technical support and innovations will end soon making the devices useless for long-term utilisation.

Organisations that have been relying on Fitbit hardware need to seek alternatives asap!

Enhanced Actigraphy

Actigraphy is a non-invasive method of monitoring human rest/activity cycles. This is particularly useful for studying sleep disorders such as insomnia, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, and for monitoring the effectiveness of treatments for these conditions. Additionally, actigraphy is used in the study of physical activity and daytime activity patterns for various populations, contributing valuable data in research areas like epidemiology, psychology, and geriatrics.

Zwift integration now available.

Fitrockr has integrated the Zwift data format which allows upload and import of recorded activities from Zwift. On the Fitrockr platform, Zwift data can be combined with other data from wearables and surveys for analysis and coaching.
