Google is launching an AI Health Coach. Here’s what it’s all about

  • On May 19, Google will rebrand its Fitbit app to Google Health, launching a Gemini-powered Google Health Coach to deliver personalized wellness insights based on user activity and health data.
  • Consolidating its app library, Google is replacing both the legacy Google Fit and the Fitbit app with the unified Google Health platform to streamline its health and fitness offerings.
  • Powered by Gemini, the Google Health Coach integrates activity, sleep, and medical data to offer tailored recommendations. Google reaffirmed that health data remains separate from advertising, a commitment legally binding for at least 10 years.
  • Existing Fitbit users will receive an automatic app update, while Google plans to provide a migration tool later this year for legacy Google Fit customers. Premium access costs $9.99 per month.
  • The rollout completes by May 26, coinciding with the market release of the new Fitbit Air tracker. This positions Google to compete early in the emerging AI health coaching space.
