Google Boosts Fitbit's Heart Health Monitoring, Aims To Simplify Data Sharing With Doctors, Nurses And Researchers
On Wednesday, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google announced that it is upgrading the heart health monitoring features of Fitbit, making it easier for medical professionals to access and analyze user data.
週三，Alphabet Inc.（納斯達克代碼:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL）旗下的Google宣佈，它正在升級Fitbit的心臟健康監測功能，使醫療專業人士更容易獲取和分析用戶數據。
What Happened: In a blog post, Google said that it is improving the capabilities of Fitbit's heart-rate sensors. These sensors, which have FDA clearance, passively detect signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib), a potentially serious medical condition.
事件經過：在博客文章中，Google表示正在提高Fitbit心率傳感器的能力，這些傳感器已獲得FDA認證，被動檢測房顫（AFib）的跡象，這是一種潛在的嚴重醫療情況。
"Previously, it was up to you to export and share your Afib data separately with healthcare providers. Now, with your consent, healthcare partners like doctors, nurses, and health researchers can access your Afib data through a secure connection within the Fitbit Web API," the company said.
公司表示："之前，你需要單獨導出和分享Afib數據給醫療保健服務提供商。現在，在您的同意下，醫療合作伙伴，例如醫生、護士和健康研究人員可以通過Fitbit Web API中的安全連接訪問您的Afib數據。"
Only Fitbit models with an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor can accurately perform the detailed analysis required to differentiate AFib from a normal rhythm. However, Fitbit uses irregular heartbeat detection over the long term to identify possible AFib events, making detection available to a wider range of the company's hardware, reported Android Authority.
只有具有心電圖（ECG）傳感器的Fitbit型號能夠準確執行區分AFib和正常節律所需的詳細分析。然而，Fitbit長期使用不規則心跳檢測來識別可能的AFib事件，使得更多硬件能夠進行檢測，據Android Authority報道。

Why It Matters: Google acquired Fitbit in 2019, a move that jolted the wearable fitness products sector. At the time, this acquisition was seen as Google's attempt to invade Apple's wearables territory.
爲什麼它很重要：Google於2019年收購了Fitbit，這個舉措震動了可穿戴健身產品市場。當時，這次收購被視爲谷歌進攻蘋果可穿戴設備領域的嘗試。
Last year, Fitbit faced some major technical difficulties, with users reporting various issues within the app. In the same year, advocacy group Noyb filed complaints against Fitbit in Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy, accusing the company of violating the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) privacy rules.
去年，Fitbit面臨了一些重大的技術困難，用戶報告了應用中的各種問題。同年，Noyb倡導小組在奧地利、荷蘭和意大利對Fitbit提出了投訴，指控該公司違反了歐盟《通用數據保護條例》（GDPR）的隱私規定。
