Google is giving its health and fitness ecosystem a major refresh, starting with a new name and a broader mission. The Fitbit app is officially being rebranded as Google Health, and the update doesn’t just change the logo. It introduces universal health tracker compatibility, a redesigned app experience, and a new AI-powered health coach built to deliver more personalized guidance day and night. Alongside the app overhaul, Google also unveiled a new wearable: the Fitbit Air, a $100 screenless tracker designed to deliver continuous health monitoring with minimal fuss.
The newly renamed Google Health app arrives with a cleaner, more refined layout and customizable dashboards, letting users shape the experience around the metrics they care about most. Beyond day-to-day tracking, Google Health can also sync a wider range of data, including health records, making it more than just a fitness app and pushing it closer to a central hub for personal wellness management.
One of the biggest upgrades is compatibility. Google says the Google Health app works with hundreds of apps and devices, pulling in data whether it’s integrated through Health Connect, Apple Health, or Google Healthy APIs. That means users aren’t locked into one brand of wearable to benefit from the platform, and people with existing trackers can still tap into Google Health without starting over.
The standout feature is the new Gemini-powered Google Health Coach. Positioned as a personalized, holistic, and adaptive AI health coach, it’s designed to stay available on your phone 24/7. The coach starts with an onboarding conversation to learn your goals, preferred workouts, daily routine, and other personal inputs. From there, it tailors insights, recommendations, and coaching guidance around your needs and preferences, aiming to make health advice feel less generic and more actionable.
Google Health Coach begins rolling out on May 19, and Google expects the rollout to be completed by May 26. Access is included with Google Health Premium, priced at $9.99 per month or $99 per year.
To pair with the new app direction, Google also introduced the Fitbit Air, a screenless health tracker priced at $99.99. Built around high-fidelity sensors, Fitbit Air is designed for 24/7 monitoring of key health metrics while staying simple and lightweight. With no screen to distract you, the emphasis is on comfort, continuous tracking, and letting the Google Health app handle the deeper analysis and insights.
Battery life is a key selling point. Google says Fitbit Air can last up to a week on a charge, making it a low-maintenance option for people who don’t want to think about charging every day. It’s also designed to be so light you may forget you’re wearing it, which is especially important for sleep tracking. Google highlights a use case where you wear a Pixel Watch during the day, then switch to Fitbit Air at night for seamless overnight monitoring.
Fitbit Air works with both Android and iOS. Pre-orders start today at $99.99, with in-store availability set for May 26. A special edition version is also available for pre-order at $129.99.
