Hi, ok, so no reply from people so I will jump in. A fitbit is a measuring device - like an old school under the tongue thermometer, it doesn't interact with your body by doing anything 'to you' (say unlike a TENS machine) so I dont see a problem with it per se, however, be careful how you interpret the results. For example my weight is different if the scales are on tiled floor or carpet.... HTH
