How Does A Fitbit Count Your Steps?

Have you ever wondered how a Fit bit works? Well your in luck! Today I will tell you how a Fit bit works.

Firstly, Fit bit devices have a 3-axis accelerometer so they know what your doing. An accelerometer is a device which turn into digital measurements when attached to your body.

Secondly, by analyzing acceleration data, our devices include detailed information related to frequency, duration, and patterns of movement to determine your steps taken, how far you've traveled, how much weight you've lost, and sleep quality.

Then, the 3-axis implementation lets the accelerometer to measure your movement in any you move. Making its measurements more precise rather than older, single- axis  pedometers.

And finally, Fit bits have a fined tuned algorithm for step counting. This is used for looking for motion patterns that are most indicative of people working.

So this is how a Fit bit counts your steps and hopefully you learnt something new!
