Google relaunches Fitbit as Google Health with AI coaching at its core
The Google Health Coach, available to premium subscribers, is designed to move beyond passive data collection. Rather than simply logging steps or sleep, it analyses a user’s metrics over time and generates adaptive fitness plans, sleep recommendations, and health insights that adjust to changing schedules and circumstances. A user travelling without gym access, for instance, can inform the coach and receive a revised weekly plan accordingly.
Sleep tracking has also been updated. Google says its new machine learning models are 15 per cent more accurate than its previous iteration, with improvements to how the system captures naps, interruptions, and transitions between sleep stages. The resulting Sleep Score is intended to be more actionable, connecting nightly data to daytime behaviour patterns.
