Fitbit Updates

  • We’ve updated our Fitbit connector to get even more data. This includes:

    • New! Activity data (e.g. biking, yoga, running)*

    • New! Intraday heart rate data for tracking minute-by-minute heart rate values.*

    • Our sleep data now includes stages of sleep (deep, light, rem ,wake) in addition to classic categories (asleep, restless, awake).

    • More fields associated with step tracking (e.g. goals, calories). Please note: the fitbit_goal column was renamed to goal_steps.

  • For active projects and studies, this new data will not be backfilled, but we can update your configuration to start tracking it now. 

Submit a request to turn on these new data feeds.

Withings Updates

  • We have updated our Withings connectertoo! This includes:

    • New! Daily heart rate data*

    • New! Intraday data for for steps, heart rate and sleep.*

  • As with the new Fitbit data, active projects and studies will need to submit a request to turn on these new data feeds.

Re-Enroll in a W2H Intervention

Re-enrollment in a Way to Health intervention is now available in PennChart. Heart Safe Motherhood, a blood pressure monitoring program for moms after childbirth needed this feature because mom’s often experience high blood pressure for multiple pregnancies. This feature is not only for HSM though! Any intervention that enrolls through PennChart can use this feature as well. Please let your W2H liaison know if you would like to implement this for your program.

Progress towards upcoming major releases

  • The ability to deliver Way to Health interventions in Spanish is in the works. Release scheduled for late February.

  • A customizable participant dashboard is underway. Release scheduled for early February.
