Google Health Coach Launches After App Rebrand with Gemini AI Features

Story Summary

Following the May 7, 2026 announcement to rename the Fitbit app as Google Health, Google launched an updated AI wellness coach powered by Gemini. Available to existing and new subscribers at monthly rates of $10 or annual rates of $80-$100, the coach utilizes user health data to customize workout plans and answer queries about medical records. While users retain control over shared data and can delete accounts within a 30-day grace period, experts advise caution regarding uploading sensitive medical information to AI tools.
