Fitbit joins growing list of companies offering back-to-work health screening tools

Device maker Fitbit is the latest technology company to jump into the back-to-work business. The company is leveraging its expertise in wearable technology and its relationship with employers to roll out a solution that aims to help bring employees back to workplaces safely amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The tool, called Ready for Work, helps employees determine whether they have signs of COVID-19 before returning to work using key health metrics from Fitbit devices and self-reported symptoms. A digital daily check-in feature enables users to log information about exposure, symptoms and their current body temperature and provides guidance on whether to go into the workplace, Fitbit said.
