GADGETSFITNESS-TRACKING devices such as the Fitbit Charge HR have become essential gadgets in the daily lives of anyone who wants to stay healthy. Along came the Charge HR from Fitbit, and I was back at it, power-walking and climbing stairs again.Compact and comfortably lightweight, the Charge HR is barely noticeable even as you drift off to sleep. This too can be switched for something else, using the Fitbit app. Just switch this function off if you're not interested.Once you're all set up, the band displays your first goal - 10,000 steps a day, the minimum for staying healthy. The Annals of Emergency Medicine reported that the data tracked by a Charge HR helped doctors in the US save the life of a 42-year-old man who'd suffered a seizure.
