Of all the brands of fitness trackers on the market, Fitbit is the best-known, and for good reason. This touch-screen wristwatch not only tracks steps and sleep, but also alerts its user to incoming phone calls and text messages, keeps tabs on his or her heart rate with a built-in optical heart rate monitor and uses GPS to track outdoor activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>GPS is especially useful, as no one needs to take a phone with them when they go for a run or bike to track exercise. The tracker is reliable, easy to use and connects the user to a great community with whom everyone can share their activities and even compete for the first place earned by the fittest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F11\u002Ffitbit.jpg\" alt=\"Fitbit - Wearables for Christmas\" class=\"wp-image-14545\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F11\u002Ffitbit.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F11\u002Ffitbit-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F11\u002Ffitbit-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F11\u002Ffitbit-512x289.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F11\u002Ffitbit-443x250.jpg 443w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>7) How to surprise your doctor friends with something useful for their profession?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The solution is \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.viatomtech.com\u002F#!checkme-pro\u002Fc1mv2\">Viatom Checkme\u003C\u002Fa> and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fclinicloud.com\u002F\">CliniCloud\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Viatom Checkme is the world’s first \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002F2016\u002F05\u002F25\u002Fwill-the-medical-tricorder-from-star-trek-become-real\u002F\">medical tricorder\u003C\u002Fa>, a proper medical multi-tool.
