"What can AI do for my health? Before testing Google's revamped Fitbit Premium, powered by Gemini, I didn't believe it could do that much. Of course, I'm aware of the technology's ability to comb through large datasets to decode patterns. That's helpful for exercise, sleep tracking, or predicting illness or strain. It's one of the reasons I love using devices like smartwatches and smart rings to track my health."
"As ZDNET's health and wearables editor, I test smartwatches, smart rings, and other wacky technology that fall under the general health umbrella. I work out regularly, at least twice a week, often four times a week. I truly enjoy exercise and care about my health, so I was eager to see how Fitbit Premium would help me design a workout schedule or provide feedback on my weekly activity and sleep patterns."
"made to be an AI that's tailored to a user's specific needs and abilities, that changes based on a user's schedule and desires, that measures sleep, stress, and exercise, plans weekly workout regimens, and answers queries on all things health and wellness. Gemini, Google's AI, grounds all these functionalities. Google is integrating more of its Gemini functionalities into the app than ever before, in the hopes that users can not only view their data but also query the AI for suggestions or answers to questions."
Fitbit Premium received a redesign that integrates Google's Gemini to personalize health and wellness features. The AI analyzes large datasets to identify patterns in exercise, sleep, and signs of illness or strain. The app tailors recommendations to users' abilities, schedules, and desires, measures sleep and stress, plans weekly workouts, and answers health queries. Testing showed AI offers more practical support than expected but cannot fully compel behavior like forcing gym attendance. Regular exercisers with sporadic schedules may find schedule-aware planning and feedback helpful for maintaining consistency amid travel and changing routines.
