Great point. The Fitbit app does not answer common medical questions or give you a simple check of how you're doing. I do'nt have the premium Fitbit account so I'm not sure if they do there. But to me this is a failing on most of the top apps out there.
Just to be sure, we just use the data over the last week and then dump it as soon as we present a result. Happy to discuss more.
In the study of many mental health conditions, tracking changes in location are markers for depression. By understanding mobility patterns, we can learn more about how to better deliver care just-in-time.
Companies like ginger.io have been doing this with success for many years.
My company Open mHealth designed this tool because we could not find one definitive place to help people decide on which devices to buy, which measures they support, and how they connect. Hope you guys find this useful.
