The Fitbit Analysis

Fitbit Charge 2: Fitbit charge2 dashboard provide information on daily steps, calories burned ,distance in mile ,floor counting and hear rate in bpm.

If you are tracking your health and fitness progress using Fitbit, you may want to stop. A new study has found Fitbit to be inaccurate, causing concerns for the company. This comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed against Fitbit over the data inaccuracy the smart device provides. Is Fitbit a scam? The findings of the device’s woes are supported by two scientific studies. However, the company insists that both studies are biased. Could the war against smart device accuracy lead to an investigation of the Apple Watch?

It can be assumed from these literature that these interventions are significantly effective. There is limited availability of research involving the use of smartphones and Fitbits in conjunction with the self-monitoring, goal setting, and feedback. More research on this subject is needed - specifically, including a larger participant pool with a wider age range would strengthen findings of the results. This would help with demonstration our group’s hypothesis of our study and the literature reviewed in this

FitTown is a new apparel and shoe store that will provide clothing and accessories, geared for training, to both genders and all ages. FitTown will become the first store of its kind focused specifically toward training gear.

Everyone is in control of his or her life. No one, except the individual, knows exactly what tactics work when it comes to health. It can often be a process of trial and error. Andria Martin’s experience with her Fitbit Flex is exemplified through a summary, the writer’s personal reaction, as well as conclusions that are derived from personal opinions.

The Fit quest project is a very interesting project in my mind. It gives children the opportunity to research about kids like them. Whether they’re like Randy, Angela, or Jimmy, it gives students the chance and time to find out how they can make themselves healthier while incorporating school work. I personally think the Fit quest project is a project that indirectly makes students ,who would otherwise ignore their health, research and think about their health and how they can improve.

The best part of the Fitbit is not the watch itself, but the app. The app syncs with your device via Bluetooth and keeps track with the device throughout the day. I quite enjoy this feature as it allows me to wear the device and not worry about keeping track of my steps, my sleep, and my heart rate.

Starting in May, the Apple Watch has garnered much attention. The Apple Watch has the technology to track and store information about the activity of the wearer – it can show a person’s daily activities, such as the amount of time spent sitting, standing, or moving, and it can provide and display goals, suggestions, and incentives for increased activity. The Apple Watch can also collect workout data, such as a person’s heart rate, calories burned, and other exercise –related statistics. Like other i-phones or mobile

A beneficial effect of Fitbit is that it tracks any activity that is done, which lets the user know about their health and progress, if any, that is made (2). The odds of a Fitbit user caring about their general health are fairly high. With fitbit, the user knows what their heart rate is which can be helpful if a user has a heart condition in which they can not overexert themselves during an activity. Fitbit also lets the user know how well they sleep and how many hours that were slept (7). This useful information has an effect on society in which the user will have knowledge of their overall health and will know if they are unhealthy and/or have a possible abnormal heartbeat or rest period. With this information they will be able to talk to a doctor and get medical help if necessary. A harmful effect of Fitbit is that it could be inaccurate in providing the user with correct data. When someone buys any type of fitness tracker, accuracy is probably one of the top things on a list of musts this device must have. A study was conducted in which the Fitbit heart rate monitor was inaccurate by 20 beats per minute (5). People that have a heart condition can be negatively affected by this which could put their health at risk

FitBit is a company that creates watch like devises that monitor your heart rate, hours you’ve slept and steps you’ve taken and climbed. This wireless device is used to inform its wearer if their daily routine is cutting it to keep them living healthy.

Picture this in you head, a wristband any color from blue to yellow and wearing it wherever you go to benefit the body. Well that time is now, because in the early 2016 Oral Roberts University made it a requirement for all freshmen’s to wear Fitbit to help maintain health fitness and personal information. The university concludes it’s a physical education course that will notify what kind of activity the students will be doing in and out of the campus. By doing so, most undergrads are tracked by how much they eat, sleep, and walk over 10,000 steps. Thanks to this technology, more and more people are participating in this program to exercise right and being well fit. Some viewers believe that wearing the Fitbit is a significant thing to the campus, but there is a huge disadvantage of what it can do.

I agree with many of the points you have made throughout your discussion, but I have some alternate views. In regards to the Fitbit data being collected by an employer, I agree that company property in most cases is subject to monitoring and the collection of data. However, I think without the consent of the employee, the employer may find themselves in a sticky situation legally because it may violate HIPAA. Regardless of the legal concerns, there is an ethical concern when it comes to an employer collecting personal health information about employees potentially without their knowledge or consent. In most cases, companies would rather not know personal health information about their employees because it could be used against the employer

Australian’s international trade activities are regulated by TRIPS and WTO settlements. Intellectual property is an integral part of global trade which is paid enough attention by the Australian government. In 2009-10, value of intellectual property reached $170 billion. Therefore, FitBit as an innovative product and its crucial technology will be well protected by the local government.

Fitbit has made a splash into wearable technology and for many users it has made fitness a game. James Park and his business partner Eric Friedman founded the concept in 2007, although the pair did not have manufacturing experience they proceeded forward with the design officially launching their first tracker in 2009.

In her blog post “It Happened to Me: My Fitbit Reignited My Eating Disorder”, Martin (2015) discussed how the features of a fitness band led to an eating disorder relapse. Eating disorders are characterized by pervasive fear of gaining weight and altered perception of body image (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Eating disorders may also be associated with restrictive eating and compensatory behaviors (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Martin (2015) argued that the conditioning effects of the Fitbit fitness band had a negative impact on her life and that other individuals with similar symptoms may be harmed but using the devices. In the current paper, the present author will provide a summary of the content as well as a personal reflection and reaction to the blog post.
