Introduction: Fitbit will face challenges if they do not develop upgraded features. The current Fitbit helps consumers track steps, active minutes, sleep tracking, continuous heart rate, and the list goes on. These technologies appealed to consumers (Case Exhibit 2), and it showed Fitbit how people reacted positively to the new features, like the longer battery life. Nevertheless, competition is following along and the technology is not as rare anymore, so Fitbit can be easily substituted. Since Fitbit is already a known high-quality brand, they should take advantage of providing more useful features. Their open API (Case exhibit 1) should allow them to continue increasing partnerships with software providers and upgrade the Fitbit to have …show more content…
If they want to continue growing as a brand, keep loyal customers satisfied, and gain more consumers, Fitbit needs to add more features about the persons health. Fitbit is already a trusted brand, but there current tracking data is based on easy tracking. Counting calories, steps, and sleep can only get someone so far with their understanding in fitness (Case Exhibit 2). Fitbit could use the base they have with the current trackers to make trackers with more significant insight and understanding on a person’s health. Fitbit should invest in the latest technologies and sensors to show that they have the ideal data. By investing more into the technologies, there would be an increased focus on the consumers health. For example, if a Fitbit user has a certain medical condition, the tracker could focus on that, and the person could then manage their health better. The tracking would be more specific, so the user could be more productive. After crucial research is done to find the most needed data to be tracked, Fitbit could make products to meet people’s health needs. Although the data will be more specific, Fitbit should stick to being not complex (Case Exhibit 1), and make it easy to follow. However, before any new features are introduced, Fitbit should focus on quality and valued data. For example, like I stated before if a person has a specific medical condition, Fitbit could give specific recommendations to keep track of the condition. It is expected that in the future there will be a primary care shortage (Case Exhibit 2). The shortage combined with aging population could result in improper healthcare for the majority of the population. Fitbit will be an easy option for the younger and older people in need of assistance with health problems. The new features will inspire young people to become more aware of health problems before they get
