"Google is rolling out an update for the app on May 19, after which it will officially be called the Health app and will feature a new icon. If you're a Google Fit user, you'll get an invite to migrate your data into the new app later this year. You'll find four tabs in the new layout - Today, Fitness, Sleep and Health."
"If you pay for Google Health Premium subscription, those tabs will come integrated with the Gemini-powered Google Health Coach, as well. In Today, you'll find an overview of your stats and activities with insights from Health Coach if you have access to it."
"Google said it will store your data within the app itself, and you'll be able to control how it's used and shared. For instance, you'll be able to link the app with other health applications, such as Peloton or MyFitnessPal, as well as share steps with friends to create leaderboards."
"We... committed to not using Fitbit user health and wellness data for Google Ads. The Fitbit app is now the Google Health app, and we continue to keep this commitment."
Google is rebranding the Fitbit app into a Health app launching May 19, serving as a centralized portal for health and fitness data. The new app features four tabs: Today for activity overviews, Fitness for workouts and training plans, Sleep for sleep metrics including REM sleep, and Health for vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure. Google Fit users will receive migration invites later in the year. Premium subscribers gain access to Gemini-powered Health Coach features. US users can sync medical records to view lab results and medications. The app integrates with third-party services like Peloton and MyFitnessPal, and Google commits to not using Fitbit health data for advertising purposes.
