Fitbit, LifeScan partnership will offer Inspire 2 trackers for diabetes management

Source: Fitbit

Fitbit recently announced a multi-year partnership with LifeScan to help its diabetic users manage their health better. It's an extension of an announcement earlier this year where the LifeScan OneTouch Reveal app syncs results with the Fitbit app. In case you didn't know, LifeScan offers services and hardware for those with diabetes to help them manage their disease.

The two companies want to help their users by offering Inspire 2 trackers and access to Fitbit Premium to LifeScan users. It allows these users to manage their activity, workouts, nutrition, and stress. This partnership will be available in the US in the fall.

A new partnership between Fitbit and Tile will now let users of the Fitbit Inspire 2 find their wearable if it gets misplaced. According to the companies' statement, the free update rollout started on Monday. To gain access to this feature, you'll need to update your Inspire 2's software via the Fitbit app. This update will bring Bluetooth tracking. You will then have to download and activate the Tile app. Once that is enabled, you can then find your misplaced wearable using its most recent location or via Tile's global crowdsourced network. You can also then use your Inspire 2 to ring your phone, even when it's silent.

Fitbit Inspire 2 users can also sign up for Tile Premium to receive Smart Alerts and other premium content for US$2.99 (CA$3.75) per month or US$29.99 (CA$37.61) annually. Smart Alerts can proactively notify you if you're about to leave your Inspire 2 behind when you're leaving your house.
