Gadgets : The Fitbit Smartwatch will now alert the user even if there is fever (flu) or cold (influenza). American researchers studied for the first time to improve surveillance of the disease spread by infection.


Researchers reported that they were able to get flu information in real time in five states. For this, heart rate and sleep data of Fitbit users were used. There is a constant change in heart rate when there is flu. These changes in heart rate are tracked by wearable devices such as smartwatches and fitness bands, and confirm a fever or a cold.


The researchers studied the data of over 2 lakh users using the Fitbit wearable device. Through this device, data of about 60 days of heart rate, sleep and other activities of users was tracked.
