Fitbit Finally Releases Blood Oxygen Monitoring
Many Fitbit (NYSE: FIT) products in recent years have included a relative SpO2 sensor that can measure blood oxygen levels. That information can be useful in diagnosing certain conditions like sleep apnea, a disorder that affects over 20 million Americans. However, that hardware has mostly remained unused as Fitbit has worked to develop the underlying technology necessary to enable the feature.
At long last, Fitbit is rolling out blood oxygen monitoring using the SpO2 sensor, giving it a rare advantage over Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).
