Google Kills the Fitbit App, Launches Google Health with Gemini-Powered AI Coach

After months of Public Preview testing, Google is replacing the Fitbit app and launching "Google Health," bringing together "the best of Fitbit's pioneering spirit with the helpfulness of Google." It's a seismic shift for millions of fitness tracker users. The Fitbit brand will remain in use for hardware, but all software moves under the "Google Health" umbrella. The update — including on Pixel Watch — starts rolling out May 19 and will be fully available ahead of the Fitbit Air hitting shelves on May 26. New with this launch is multimodal logging — log via text, voice, or photo, including snapping a picture of lunch for automatic food recognition. Google Health Premium subscribers get the conversational Google Health Coach and adaptive fitness plans, plus detailed and proactive insights across sleep, fitness, and health. Google Health Premium is now bundled with Google AI Pro or AI Ultra in 30+ countries, or available separately for $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Later this year, Google Fit users will be able to migrate their data to Google Health.
