Google Expands Health Hub with Gemini AI Coach, Fitbit Health, and Air Tracker
Google unveils a Gemini-powered health stack: an AI health coach at $9.99/month, the Google Health app, and a new screenless Fitbit Air.
Google is expanding its health-focused ecosystem with Gemini-powered tools, aiming to blend AI coaching with wearable data. On May 19, Google rolls out its AI health coach for $9.99 per month, promising to act as a fitness coach, sleep expert, and wellness adviser. The assistant is designed to offer personalized routines, reminders, and insights across workouts, recovery, and daily health goals.
In a broader reshuffle, Google is sunsetting Google Fit by the end of the year and folding health features into a rebranded Google Health app. Fitbit remains a cornerstone of the lineup, with the new Google Health hub tying together wearables, fitness tracking, and health data under one umbrella.
Also on the docket is the Fitbit Air (2026), a screenless tracker powered by Gemini and built for simplicity. The device aims to stand out in the crowded wearables market by prioritizing battery life and a minimal, distraction-free interface—an appealing alternative to more screen-heavy options like Whoop.
Taken together, these moves sketch a future where AI coaching, wearable data, and a unified health app work in concert. For users, that could translate into easier access to tailored guidance, but it also raises questions about privacy, data use, and how seamlessly devices will sync across the Google Health ecosystem.
