- The most requested missing features are here: Cycle tracking, nutrition, and mental wellness 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 make recommendations to adjust your workouts for better recovery.
- Integration of medical records: Ability to sync US medical records and share with coach to ask questions and learn more.
- Flexible fitness plans: Instead of a rigid or template-based workout plan, your trainer helps you identify weekly “goals” and a plan that’s customized 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 you reach your weekly goals.
- Step-by-step training guide: Dynamic workouts, including comprehensive visualizations and instructions in a streamlined layout for step-by-step workout logging, with automatic progress tracking that evolves with you.
- More refined and precise guidance: Chats are now more concise and conversational, better reflecting real-life conversations with a coach.
- More ways to log in: Track your data via voice, images or documents – to log complex training programs, upload photos of fitness boards or take pictures of meals for nutritional analysis and understand or summarize files such as PDFs or medical records.
We will continue to iterate and add new features to the Coach experience based on your feedback.
We are based on expertise and privacy
We know that health data is deeply personal. That’s why we founded the coach in Gemini models, driven by new health research and established health and wellness principles, along with safety, helpfulness, accuracy, relevance and personalization (collectively known as the SHARP evaluation framework). To build Google Health Coach responsibly and safely, we also partnered with our Consumer Health Advisory Panel of leading medical experts and clinicians across multiple disciplines and Google’s internal clinical and research/sports researchers to ensure our guidance is rooted in credible, evidence-based insights.
In addition, Google Performance Advisor Stephen Curry and his team of experts worked closely 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 has committed not to use Fitbit users’ health and wellness data for Google Ads. The Fitbit app is now the Google Health app, and we will continue to deliver on this commitment.
Price and availability
Google Health Coach will begin rolling out on May 19 and will reach 100% on May 26 when the new Fitbit Air hits store shelves. It’s 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 additional cost, providing even more value to these customers. Coach will launch 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 be notified when the Coach is ready for you.
