Google has announced a new suite of health and safety tools for users of the newly launched Google Fitbit Air. These new features have been made available to Google Fitbit Air users with a Google Health Premium subscription. According to the company, users will now be able to set up blood pressure trends and insulin resistance trends in the Google Health app. At the beginning of each month, subscribers will be provided with a report so that they can make lifestyle adjustments as required.
Furthermore, Google Coach will help users translate shifts in patterns, adapt fitness plans, and provide personalized lifestyle and wellness guidance. The company says it has enhanced activity tracking to make it more intelligent, accurate, and reliable. The feature automatically logs workouts, even when users forget to record them, allowing them to stay focused on their exercise routines rather than their screens.
Top 4 New Features Added to Google Fitbit Air
The following upgraded features and proactive health insights will be provided to users of the Google Fitbit Air with Google Health Premium subscription:
- Activity tracking has been expanded from 10 to more than 100 detectable activities on Fitbit trackers and Pixel Watches, including strength training, swimming, racket sports and team sports.
- Google Health will use contextual reasoning to analyse workout routines, historical data, manual edits and, with user permission, location data. The company says this approach delivers nearly twice as accurate activity detection and reduces missed workouts by more than half.
- Workouts that meet the minimum duration threshold of 15 minutes by default and involve a sustained elevated heart rate will automatically be logged. A workout summary will also be sent to users’ mobile app within 30 minutes.
- The feature also learns individual activity patterns through user confirmations and edits, using this information to refine future activity predictions and improve detection accuracy.
Google Fitbit Air is available in India at Rs 13,999 on the official Google website. Those who wish to subscribe for the Google Health Premium membership will have to pay Rs 499 per month.
