- The most-requested missing features are here: Cycle Tracking, Nutrition and Mental Wellbeing have all been redesigned for the new Google Health Coach experience and all rebuilt from the ground-up, and the Coach can share insights on things like how your cycle phase and symptoms connect to other parts of your health, like sleep and readiness and provide recommendation to adjust your workout for better recovery.
- Medical record integration: Ability to sync medical records in the U.S., and share them with the Coach to ask questions and learn more.
- Flexible Fitness Plans: Instead of a rigid or templatized workout schedule, your coach helps you identify weekly “targets” and a plan that is personalized to you and your goals. Each day, the Coach will make suggestions on what to focus on based on your readiness, your progress, and even the weather, to help achieve your weekly goals.
- Step-by-step workout guidance: Dynamic workouts, including rich visualizations and instructions in a streamlined layout for step-by-step exercise logging, featuring automatic progress tracking that evolves with you.
- More refined and accurate guidance: Chats are now more succinct and conversational, better reflecting real-life conversations with a coach.
- Multiple ways to log: Track your data via voice, images or documents – to log complex workouts, upload photos of gym whiteboards or snap photos of meals for nutritional analysis, and understand or summarize files, like PDFs or medical records.
We’ll continue to iterate and add new features to the Coach experience based on your feedback.
We’re grounded in expertise and privacy
We know that health data is deeply personal. That’s why we grounded the coach in Gemini models, powered by novel health research and established health and wellness principles, along with safety, helpfulness, accuracy, relevance and personalization (collectively known as SHARP evaluation framework). To build the Google Health Coach responsibly and securely, we also collaborated with our Consumer Health Advisory Panel of leading medical experts and clinicians across multiple disciplines, and the Google in-house clinical and research/sports scientists to ensure our guidance is rooted in credible, evidence-based insights.
Additionally, Google Performance Advisor Stephen Curry and his team of experts worked in close collaboration with Google Health experts, to bring their collective knowledge and expertise to influence and shape aspects of goal setting, recovery and more.
As always, your privacy is in your control. Google committed to not use Fitbit users’ health and wellness data for Google Ads. The Fitbit app is now the Google Health app, and we’ll continue to keep this commitment.
Pricing and availability
The Google Health Coach will start rolling out on May 19 and will reach 100% on May 26, when the new Fitbit Air hits store shelves.It is included with a Google Health Premium subscription (formerly Fitbit Premium), at just $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will now also enjoy Google Health Premium at no extra cost, bringing even more value to these customers. The Coach is launching first for eligible Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, with support for other devices coming soon. Anyone can download the app to get started and sign up, and if you don’t have a Fitbit device or Google Pixel Watch, you’ll get notified when the Coach is ready for you.
