"The investment we've been making the last few years is literally designed for this one moment. That tying together of this wearable technology with the coaching experience is what's been missing for the longest time, so candidly, we were waiting for the Coach to be ready before we launch new hardware. Now we have the Coach, you should expect to see more hardware coming."
"The Google Health app is designed to be the one-stop shop for all your health and fitness needs. It supports Health Connect and Apple's HealthKit platform, meaning anyone with an Apple Watch can use the Google Health app to parse their data. Designed as a screenless health tracker that's ultra-lightweight and comfortable to wear, it debuts alongside the new Google Health app with simplicity at its core."
Google is rebranding the Fitbit app to Google Health and discontinuing the 12-year-old Google Fit app later this year. The rebrand includes an AI-powered Health Coach chatbot that provides personalized guidance on health, fitness, and medical records. The Health Coach is exiting beta with the app update on May 19. Google simultaneously launched the Fitbit Air, a lightweight, screenless health tracker designed for simplicity and ease of use across all age groups. Google Health integrates with Health Connect and Apple's HealthKit, allowing Apple Watch users to access their data through the platform. The company plans to release migration details for user data in coming months and expects to introduce additional hardware products.
