Fitbit v4.57 includes code for a new Fitbit Labs feature, internally referred to as “Plan for Care,” “Care Advocate,” or “Pre-visit Lab.” From what we could gather from the strings, this is an experimental, research-based feature designed to act as a bridge between a patient’s symptoms and their next doctor’s visit.
