Fitbit will be among the wearable brands that Scripps Research Institute uses in an expansive federal research study uncovering the health habits of American citizens.
The company will provide 10,000 Fitbit Charge 2 and Fitbit Alta HR health trackers as part of a one-year study that will track participants’ sleep and fitness activities.
In a statement, Fitbit Health Solutions General Manager Adam Pellegrini said the data collected will help the company explore how health indicators such as physical activity, heart rate and sleep patterns relate to critical health outcomes.
