The Fitbit Charge 5 has an EDA sensor, first seen in the Fitbit Sense, which helps you monitor stress throughout the day (Image credit: Fitbit) Many other devices track stress levels using heart rate variability, but EDA gives a more detailed insight into changes over time. The Charge 5 is also getting the EDA (electrodermal activity) sensor that first appeared on the Fitbit Sense, and uses changes in your skin’s conductivity that happen as a result of stress. It’s not just about physical health, either. Again, this can be a sign of a health condition that should be investigated. The Charge 5 will monitor your heart rate 24/7 too, and can give warnings if it detects that it's unusually high or low. After running a scan, the Fitbit app will generate a report that you can share with your doctor if you have any concerns. This can be an early sign of heart disease (often known as the ‘silent killer’ due to the lack of early symptoms). Unlike its predecessor, the Charge 5 will also have an ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor, as seen on the Fitbit Sense, which allows you to perform spot-checks for signs of atrial fibrillation.
