This morning Fitbit became the latest tech giant to unveil a new coronavirus feature. Users of the Fitbit app will now be able to use the new feature to connect with a doctor virtually and access information on exercising indoors.

The new feature, which is live today, will be a new tab at the bottom of the app labelled COVID-19, and include the latest updates from the World Health Organization.

Virtual care visits are conducted through membership telemedicine-service PlushCare. Users can access the services and schedule an appointment through the Fitbit app’s new feature. The services work with “most major insurers,” but if a user doesn’t have insurance, the visit is $99 and the monthly membership fee.

The company also noted that it plans to use aggregated data to gain insights about how the coronavirus is impacting users’ sleep and activity levels.
