Since the FDA sees the Fitbit as a nonregulated device then it will stay as such. If the FDA considered the Fitbit as a medical device then regulations would need to be in place. Given that the device is a consumer health device, the FDA does not want to impose regulations. I personally believe that the FDA should step in to regulate this and other related devices because of the implications that exist with user experiences. However, I believe that the doctor should not have recommended the device to the patient given his history. Legitimate devices should be used to track heart rate especially if one has a condition.
