To help better manage this condition, Fitbit Charge 5 uses an Eda sensor that measures the body’s response to stress by detecting small changes in the sweat glands on the fingers. The smartwatch also allows you to access your stress management score on the Fitbit app which, every day, helps you understand if you are mentally ready to face new challenges or if it is preferable to recover.

The Charge 5’s sensors also help keep an eye on heart health by detecting potential signs of atrial fibrillation, the world‘s most common heart disease consisting of an irregular heart rhythm. Since the launch of the Ecg app on Sense, users have taken over four million heart rate measurements. In addition, Charge 5 offers continuous detection of the heartbeat and sends notifications in case it is too high or low compared to your personal ranges: there are many factors that influence the heart rhythm, but they could indicate a heart disease to be investigated.

With Premium, it is also possible to track long-term trends and personal intervals. And then there are a series of analyzes on sleep, a fundamental element for well-being.
