"Google is rebranding the Fitbit app as the Google Health app, positioning it as a one-stop platform for fitness, wellness, and medical data. The new app is designed to pull together data from wearable devices, Health Connect, Apple HealthKit, and even users' medical records into a unified dashboard. That means users can see activity, sleep, nutrition, and clinical records in one place, instead of scattered across different apps."
"A major part of the rollout is Google Health Coach, the Gemini-powered assistant previously tested in public preview inside the Fitbit app. Google said the coach can provide personalized workout recommendations, answer health questions, summarize medical records, and adapt fitness plans based on user activity and wellness data. The feature officially launches May 19 as part of Google Health Premium, the renamed version of Fitbit Premium."
"Premium subscriptions will cost $9.99 per month or $99 per year, though Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers will receive the service as part of their plans. Speaking to WIRED, Chandra acknowledged that the AI system is still evolving. "It's not perfect by any means, but we've made huge improvements along the way," he said. He also stressed that Google is "not in the business of diagnosing or replacing a doctor.""
