In a new blog post, Google announced a list of Fitbit updates that Public Preview users will soon be able to take advantage of. The first of these updates enhances the sleep-tracking algorithm, which is said to provide a 15% improvement in sleep tracking accuracy. Specifically, the algorithm has been retooled to better capture transitions between sleep stages, recognize when you’re trying to sleep versus when you’re just relaxing, and identify interruptions versus general restlessness.
Along with sleep tracking improvements, the company is also revamping Sleep Score. Google explains that Sleep Score will offer more actionable insights, like telling you how long it took you to get to sleep, in addition to how much sound sleep you got.
