What it is
Google Health Coach, built with Gemini, creates long-term fitness plans and daily workout suggestions for goals from running to strength, and analyses your sleep. You can ask follow-up questions about any insight. It lives in the Google Health app, which replaced the Fitbit app in May 2026, and needs a Google Health Premium subscription.
Latest: Google renamed the Fitbit app Google Health in May 2026 and launched the Gemini-built Health Coach on 19 May.
