Google Health Coach is coming to India
For years, we've been working to bring the best of Google to the world of health. Already, over a billion questions on Google Search are health-related every day. More people are turning to the Gemini app to support their wellness. With Fitbit and Pixel Watch, we’ve been investing in world-class wearables to provide continuous health guidance.
Last October, we set out to build a new kind of coach — available 24/7, backed by science, and designed to adapt to you and your health needs. It’s a fitness trainer, a sleep coach, and a health and wellness advisor — all working together to help you be your best. In Public Preview, we have been listening to your feedback and making continuous improvements.
Today, we are making the Google Health Coach publicly available as part of Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium). 1 Built with Gemini, you can have the most personalized, holistic, adaptive coaching possible, right on your phone, to easily understand what data is important and easily access it when it’s helpful.
A coach that actually knows you
The first thing you’ll notice about the Google Health Coach is just how personal it is. We’ve designed this experience around the fundamental belief that effective coaching must be built on a foundation of true understanding and appreciation for you and your unique goals.
When you get started, you can share your specific goals, details about your daily routine, the type of equipment you have access to, any injuries you're managing, or general lifestyle context.
The Coach takes these details into consideration to provide tailored guidance and insights. You can update details or shift your goals at any time through a simple conversation, and your coach will instantly adapt its future guidance.
Your home for proactive, timely insights
At the center of this experience is the redesigned Today tab - the home for the Coach’s proactive insights. To give you the best possible guidance, the Coach connects the dots across your shared data ecosystem, from fitness and sleep metrics to environmental context like location and local weather.
To make this ongoing relationship seamless, we’ve invested heavily in quality and personalization based on user feedback, making it incredibly easy to interact using quick-reply chips. And you never have to wait for a nudge — you can get guidance 24/7 by simply hitting "Ask Coach" at any time.
Upleveling the entire Google Health experience
While the Coach drives the daily experience on the Today tab, its intelligence elevates every corner of the Google Health app, turning historical data into actionable tools.
- The Fitness tab is now the home for your "Weekly Plan," where you can get tailored workout suggestions, and create and save custom workouts using natural language.
- The Sleep tab helps you better understand your weekly sleep consistency and tracks your actual progress toward achieving better, more restorative rest.
- The Health tab provides a clean snapshot of your key health metrics.
We’re offering a more holistic view of your health
Here’s more of what’s coming to the Google Health Coach experience:
- The most-requested missing features are here: Cycle Tracking, Nutrition and Mental Wellbeing have all been redesigned for the new Google Health Coach experience and all rebuilt from the ground-up, and the Coach can share insights on things like how your cycle phase and symptoms connect to other parts of your health, like sleep and readiness and provide recommendation to adjust your workout for better recovery.
- Flexible Fitness Plans: Instead of a rigid or templatized workout schedule, your coach helps you identify weekly “targets” and a plan that is personalized to you and your goals. Each day, the Coach will make suggestions on what to focus on based on your readiness, your progress, and even the weather, to help achieve your weekly goals.
- Step-by-step workout guidance: Dynamic workouts, including rich visualizations and instructions in a streamlined layout for step-by-step exercise logging, featuring automatic progress tracking that evolves with you.
- More refined and accurate guidance: Chats are now more succinct and conversational, better reflecting real-life conversations with a coach.
- Multiple ways to log: Track your data via voice, images or documents – to log complex workouts, upload photos of gym whiteboards or snap photos of meals for nutritional analysis, and understand or summarize files, like PDFs.
We’ll continue to iterate and add new features to the Coach experience based on your feedback. 2
We’re grounded in expertise and privacy
We know that health data is deeply personal. That’s why we grounded the coach in Gemini models, powered by novel health research and established health and wellness principles, along with safety, helpfulness, accuracy, relevance and personalization (collectively known as SHARP evaluation framework).
To build the Google Health Coach responsibly and securely, we also collaborated with our Consumer Health Advisory Panel of leading medical experts and clinicians across multiple disciplines, and the Google in-house clinical and research/sports scientists to ensure our guidance is rooted in credible, evidence-based insights.
Additionally, Google Performance Advisor Stephen Curry and his team of experts worked in close collaboration with Google Health experts, to bring their collective knowledge and expertise to influence and shape aspects of goal setting, recovery and more.
As always, your privacy is in your control.
Pricing and availability
The Google Health Coach will start rolling out on May 19 and will reach 100% on May 26. It is included with a Google Health Premium subscription, for ₹99 per month or ₹999 per year, and is automatically bundled as part of Google AI Pro and Ultra tiers.
The Coach is launching first for eligible Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, with support for other devices coming soon.
We’re just getting started and will continue to make health more accessible and intuitive for everyone. We can’t wait to see how these tools help you reach your goals and help you live a longer, healthier life.
