Can your FitBit detect COVID-19?

Do you wear a smartwatch or use a FitBit?

It may be able to detect Coronavirus, according to the Daily Mail.

Turns out your heart rate goes up when you start to get sick and in early research, smartwatches have been able to predict Coronavirus an average of three full days before symptoms show up.

And as you know, every day counts…so if your heart rate is higher than usual, you may want to check in with your healthcare professional.
