My name is Rob, and I am a Postdoctoral researcher based in Vienna, Austria. In this video I will talk about the three new sensors of the FitBit Sense, which will be released in a few days. I will discuss how they work from a scientific perspective, what they can do and I’ll also talk about the limitations of these sensors.

The Fitbit sense can do a lot, and many of those things were already present in previous generations of Fitbits. However, its major selling points revolve around the three new sensors:
First of all, the ECG sensor, which can detect Atrial Fibrillation.
Second, the temperature sensor, which they want to use to detect fever, like some people experience if they are infected with COVID-19
Finally, the electrodermal activity or EDA sensor. Which Fitbit hopes can measure the body’s response to stress, by measuring small changes in the sweat level of your skin

I’ll discuss the features of each of these sensors in turn: explaining how and if possible how well they work, and I’ll try to give some scientific background. As always, I don’t want to waste your time, so you can find the timestamps in the description and on the timeline below.

Thanks for watching, and see you in the next video!
