Fitbit is a brand of wearable fitness devices and a supporting software platform designed to help people monitor and improve their health and wellness. Fitbit devices can track various aspects of a persons health and daily activity including steps & distance, heart rate, calories burned, exercise and workouts plus much, much more. These handy devices have shot up in popularity over the last few years with some sources claiming over a quarter of the UK population now own some sort of wearable fitness device - many of which will be fitbits.

This data can be used by businesses to build applications, dashboards and integration that use Fitbit’s real world health data for insight, engagement or indeed, innovation.
Our experienced team of developers understand the intricacies of the Fitbit ecosystem, how its various components interact and how to use them effectively to support business goals. Whether you have a fully scoped Fitbit enabled app or just an initial idea of how Fitbit data could add value, we can help you turn it into a tangible, effective solution.
As well as utilising the data the Fitbit devices collect, we can also create apps for the devices themselves. If the device is running Fitbit OS 4 or Fitbit OS 5, then you’re good to go. Why not speak to us about your requirements or ideas and we’ll help you bring that idea to life.
