Google Health rebrand brings universal tracker compatibility and a dedicated AI health coach
Google has just rebranded its Fitbit app to Google Health, replete with a more refined layout, customizable dashboards, and the ability to sync a variety of data, including health records.
What's more, the new Google Health "works with hundreds of your favorite apps and devices, whether integrated through Health Connect, Apple Health, or the Google Health APIs."
The app also brings the Gemini-powered Google Health Coach, a personalized, holistic, and adaptive resource right on your phone 24/7.
Google Health Coach gives you personalized insights and advice, tailored to your particular health issues and preferences. The onboarding conversation lays down your personal goals, preferred exercises, and daily routine, and the Coach aligns its subsequent advice and recommendations with those inputs.
The Google Health Coach will start rolling out on May 19, with Google targeting May 26 as the definitive deadline to complete this rollout process. It comes packaged with the Google Health Premium service that starts at $9.99 per month or $99 per year.
Behold the all-new $100 Fitbit Air
The Fitbit Air is an affordable, screenless health tracker that uses high-fidelity sensors to monitor a range of health metrics 24/7. The Fitbit Air is one of the most affordable ways of unlocking deep insights from the Google Health app.
The Fitbit Air features a week-long battery that can easily keep up with your schedule. What's more, it sports a very light footprint - you might even forget you are wearing one. And, you can swap between your Pixel Watch during the day and the Fitbit Air at night for seamless sleep tracking.
The Fitbit Air is compatible with both Android and iOS. It can be pre-ordered starting today for $99.99. In-store availability is scheduled for May 26. You can also pre-order a special edition version for $129.99.
