Fitbit devices have become a powerful tool used by researchers all over the world. Yet while digital health adoption is accelerating at a rapid pace, health disparities continue to widen1, and underrepresented researchers often struggle to obtain the resources2 needed for innovative interventions. That is why we’re proud to announce the Fitbit Health Equity Research Initiative to specifically address health inequity in underrepresented populations experiencing health disparities.
