Fitbit Tracker - A Wireless Acitivity Trainer

The Fitbit Tracker senses motion in three dimensions in order to provide accurate tracking of caloric burn, number of steps, distance traveled and quality of sleep.

The Wireless Activity Tracker uses a three dimensional motion sensor similar to the one in the Nintendo Wii. It converts the motion data into meaningful information about your daily activity levels and how they change over time. The Fitbit can be worn on your waist, carried in a pocket, or clipped onto undergarments. When you sleep, the Fitbit clips to a provided wristband to track the quality of your sleep. Everytime you come close to the wireless base, the Fitbit automatically uploads data to your PC and then to Fitbit.com. The Tracker requires use of the Fitbit.com website and can store up to 7 days of summarized data before an upload to the wireless base station is required.

The Fitbit provides data with enough accuracy to provide you, the user, a good idea of your activity levels and how they change from day to day. It has an accuracy level similar to many motion detection systems used in medical research activities. The Tracker also provides one of the most accurate pedometers, with an estimated 95-97% accuracy rate based on tests conducted by Fitbit. Sleep data also shares similar accuracy to clinical polysomnogram equipment used in sleep clinics.

Fitbit Wireless Trainer

The Fitbit Tracker is not designed to be used when biking or swimming. It is water resistant, but not waterproof. Fitbit.com provides the ability to upload data manually to keep all your activities logged, but the Tracker itself will not accurately track your activity when biking. The Fitbit is most useful for providing a good sense of daily activity and to help provide motivation to people that want to increase their daily activity levels as part of an overall health management program.
