Fitbit health measures get an overhaul on Android and iOS

What you need to know

• Fitbit refreshes the Health metric page on mobile to present a new look that corresponds to the rest of the application.
• The user interface of the health metrics also changes, abandoning “today” and “trends” opinions.
• The emphasis is now placed on individual health measures, and you can find more detailed data by pressing a specific metric.

The Fitbit application on Android and iOS has a page of health metrics for data points such as respiratory frequency, heart rate at rest, blood oxygen, heart rate variability and variation in skin temperature. Although the health metric page was a basic user interface that did not correspond to the major part of the Fitbit application, this changes in an update. In addition to obtaining a new look, the Health metric user interface is modified to facilitate the visualization of your data, as first identified by 9TO5GOOGLE.

Although the preview card of the home Fitbit application page is not new, making it leads you to a new page of health metrics. Here, you will see a list of the five recorded health measures and a rapid gauge in the number of these measures in your “personal range”. In a new change, only statistics “today” are indicated on the main health of health metrics.

To see longer -term data, you will need to support a specific metric individually. This will raise a detailed view with graphics and data covering the intervals of the week, the month and last year. This page also explains each point of data and its meaning, with a Learn more Tab for users for more information.

Previously, you could see this data by switching to the “Trends” tab in health measures. Instead of the structure of the “today” and “trends” tabs, there is now a new focus on the sorting of data and views by the measures themselves.
