Fitbit is a Great Healthy Living Tool

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a health and wellness company, we encourage associates to live their best life and that includes taking care of themselves. Fitbit is one of the tools they can use to connect with a customized health and wellness portal. They are able to earn points for their level of activity each day which includes tracked steps, exercise and healthy choices. At the end of the year, they are enrolled in raffles for some pretty awesome prizes.

Pros

  • Tracks Steps
  • Tracks Activities
  • Boosts motivation
  • Offers a variety and options to the user

Cons

  • A bit uncomfortable sometimes - just because of the feel of the band. And if you are anything link me - I wear mine religiously which can become a discomfort.
  • Accuracy is questionable sometimes (but that is a common issue with all activity trackers)
  • Cannot send or receive calls/texts

Likelihood to Recommend

This is great for someone strictly dedicated to tracking their motions/activity ranges but are not worried about calls, texts or other distractions in that moment. They are a great tool, but in these specific scenarios.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using Fitbit device and the mobile app for 5 years now. Fitbit device helps remind that I shouldn't sit all day long in the office chair, rather have some quick walks for steps that way we come out of the stress (as a developer) and have out of box ideas. I was able to deliver robust products the clients which makes business easy

Pros

  • reminder to walk
  • healthy competition with colleges
  • My mental health is clean and unstressed

Cons

  • more sync capabilities with Iphone
  • More smart features can be included when compared to apple watch
  • better workout/walking/running calorie recognition

Likelihood to Recommend

My daily workout and walking reminder are the best suited. Sometimes i feel I that fitbit could have profile selection so that I can customize so that I can switch between.

Using Fitbit for Wellness Benefits

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Fitbit as a wellness device to offer our employees a wellness option. It's a good and affordable tool to use. The tracking of information on the health and wellness of our employees is important to us for multiple reasons. One, to be a healthier person. Two, to receive a wellness benefit from us as the employer. And lastly, for us, the employer to document the changes in our employee's health by being aware of what the employee can do to improve themselves.

Pros

  • Track steps taken in one day.
  • Heart rate and determining if the heartrate is high or low.
  • In the app, food tracking.
  • In the app, tacking other forms of exercise.
  • A comprehensive report of progress to share.

Cons

  • We would like to see a couple of things such as a carb counter.
  • Add Fitbit device settings to the app for interchangeability.
  • Improve the cost factor. Right now it is affordable to most, but not to all.
  • Ensuring accuracy in the tracking module.

Likelihood to Recommend

The first scenario is that Fitbit allows our employees to see their exercise productivity in a day. The facility we are working in is a [healthcare-based] facility. We have staff that [is] constantly on the go. The device monitors their activity for personal knowledge and [professionalism]. Therefore, the employee can decide if they are doing enough exercise in a day or if they need more. As an employer, we like to have [documented] activity to provide a wellness benefit. The Fitbit provides us with ideas and tools to improve the health of our staff and to make exercise fun. Lastly, the other features that Fitbit has been extremely beneficial to our staff and residents. They can monitor things like sleep and healthy choices on their own. In addition, looking at [heart rate] and how that reflects on their activity.
