"Starting next month in preview, US Fitbit users will be able to link their medical records to the Fitbit app. That medical data - such as lab results, medications, and visit history - will, alongside wearable data, help Fitbit's AI-powered health coach provide "safer, more relevant and more personalized" advice."
"Instead of getting a generic answer about cholesterol, you can ask, "How can I improve my cholesterol?" The coach can then summarize your cholesterol labs, highlighting notable values and trends, and provide personalized wellness information."
Google announced that Fitbit's AI health coach will gain access to users' medical records starting next month in preview for US users. Medical data including lab results, medications, and visit history will combine with wearable data to provide personalized health advice. Google states the AI coach cannot diagnose, treat, or monitor conditions but can offer safer and more relevant guidance. For example, instead of generic cholesterol advice, the coach can analyze individual cholesterol labs and trends to provide customized wellness information. This move aligns with competitors like Amazon, OpenAI, and Microsoft who are similarly integrating sensitive health data into AI-powered services.
