Google Health Coach is becoming globally available

Your health and wellness is extremely personal, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Over the past decade, wearables have unlocked a wealth of insights that help make more sense of our health. But with so much information, many people don’t know what to do with it.

The world’s top performers have a team of experts to make sense of all this data and help them reach their full health potential: a fitness trainer, medical expert, nutritionist, a sleep coach — all working together. We believe everyone should have this, too, and now they can with the Google Health Coach.

Now, you can have the most personalized, holistic, adaptive coaching possible, right on your phone, 24/7, to easily understand what data is important, connect the dots and surface it when it’s helpful. Built with Gemini, the coach gives you personalized insights and acts as your fitness coach, sleep expert and health and wellness advisor. We launched Public Preview last year, and have been listening to your feedback and making continuous improvements to adapt to your unique lifestyle and provide 24/7 personal guidance. ^{1 2}

Starting May 19, Google Health Coach will exit preview and become available globally as part of the Google Health Premium subscription.

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. There are no generic targets or rigid programs here.

When you first get started, you’ll have an onboarding conversation to introduce yourself to your coach. 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 all of these details into consideration to provide tailored guidance and insights. Because life is dynamic, your coach is, too — 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, which acts as the home for the Coach’s proactive insights. The Google Health Coach isn't just summarizing what you did yesterday; it’s doing the heavy lifting for you — cutting through the noise, looking ahead, and delivering timely insights and nudges to help you achieve your goals.

To give you the best possible guidance, the Coach connects the dots across your shared data ecosystem, including:

• Fitness and sleep metrics
• Nutrition and cycle tracking
• Environmental context like location and local weather
• Personal medical records

In general, the more context you choose to share, the more tailored and powerful the experience becomes. 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: This is now the home for your "Weekly Plan." Instead of just tracking steps or workouts, you can get tailored workout suggestions and even create and save entirely custom workouts using natural language.
• The Sleep tab: Beyond tracking hours slept, the Coach helps you better understand your weekly sleep consistency and tracks your actual progress toward achieving better, more restorative rest.
• The Health tab: In addition to viewing a clean snapshot of your key health metrics, you can now ask the Coach to synthesize and provide clear summaries of your personal health records, making complex medical data easy to digest.

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.
• Medical record integration: Ability to sync medical records in the U.S., and share them with the Coach to ask questions and learn more.
• 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 or medical records.

We’ll continue to iterate and add new features to the Coach experience based on your feedback. ³

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. Google committed to not use Fitbit users’ health and wellness data for Google Ads. The Fitbit app is now the Google Health app, and we’ll continue to keep this commitment.

Pricing and availability

The Google Health Coach will start rolling out on May 19 and will reach 100% on May 26, when the new Fitbit Air hits store shelves.It is included with a Google Health Premium subscription (formerly Fitbit Premium), at just $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will now also enjoy Google Health Premium at no extra cost, bringing even more value to these customers. The Coach is launching first for eligible Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, with support for other devices coming soon. Anyone can download the app to get started and sign up, and if you don't have a Fitbit device or Google Pixel Watch, you'll get notified when the Coach is ready for you. ^{4 5}
