Google Rebrands Fitbit App as Google Health With Gemini-Powered Coach

The rollout positions Google to unify scattered health data through a $9.99‑a‑month coaching service.

Overview

  • Google announced Thursday that the Fitbit app will become Google Health starting May 19 with an AI coach launching in 37 countries and 32 languages.
  • The app aggregates data from Fitbit and Pixel wearables plus third-party services like Peloton, MyFitnessPal, and Dexcom, and it supports verified uploads of medical records.
  • Google set pricing for the coaching tier at $9.99 per month or $99 per year, with access included in Google One Pro and Ultra plans.
  • Google also introduced Fitbit Air, a $99 screenless sleep band with 24/7 heart rate, AFib alerts, SpO2, and up to seven days of battery life, with preorders starting Thursday and retail sales on May 26.
  • The AI coach works with Pixel Watch and Fitbit at launch, and Google says Apple Watch support is in development for later this year, while health data remains user-controlled, encrypted, and not used for ads.
