FITBIT A DL-,0001

Google has fully folded Fitbit into its health ecosystem, replacing the Fitbit app with Google Health and pushing users to migrate accounts. The newly announced Fitbit Air is positioned as a simple, affordable tracker paired with Google Health Coach AI, shifting the brand from standalone hardware to an AI-centered health offering. The move signals the end of the classic, minimal Fitbit experience as software-driven data aggregation and generative AI become central to the product strategy. » Altro su theverge.com

Starting next month, US Fitbit users can link medical records to the Fitbit app so its AI health coach can combine lab results, medications and visit history with wearable data to deliver more personalized wellness advice. Google says records won't be used for ads, users control sharing and the feature is not intended to diagnose, treat or monitor conditions. Fitbit also announced improved sleep tracking (about 15% more accurate) and upcoming enhanced sleep scores rolling out in preview. » Altro su theverge.com

Google is rolling out the public preview of Fitbit’s AI personal health coach to iOS users in the U.S. and to iOS and Android users in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The feature, powered by Gemini, lets users chat with an AI to generate custom routines and workouts and requires a Fitbit Premium subscription, a Google account sign-in and one of 14 supported devices including Pixel Watch. The rollout will occur over the next few days and may not be immediately available to all eligible users. » Altro su theverge.com
