The Fitbit app is officially being rebranded as Google Health

We’ve known for a long time that the Google-ification of Fitbit was an eventual certainty, but today it’s finally becoming a reality. In a sweeping update, Google has announced that the iconic Fitbit app is being rebranded as the Google Health app, signaling a new era for how Google will now handle your wellness data.

One app to rule them all

This isn’t just a simple name change or a fresh coat of paint. The Google Health app is designed to be a centralized hub for everything related to your physical well-being. It will now pull in data from your wearables, medical records (in the US), and third-party services like Peloton and MyFitnessPal via Health Connect.

The interface is getting a significant overhaul as well, moving to a four-tab layout: Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health. It’s a cleaner, more intuitive approach that brings the Google Material You aesthetic front and center. For those currently using Google Fit, Google has confirmed that you will be invited to migrate your data to the new Google Health app later this year.

Introducing the Fitbit Air

To celebrate the new software era, we’re also getting some new hardware in the new Fitbit Air, a screenless, ultra-discreet tracker designed for those who want the data without the distraction of another wrist-bound display.

The Fitbit Air is focused entirely on 24/7 comfort and long battery life. It’s thin, lightweight, and specifically optimized to feed data into the new Google Health Coach. It’s launching at $99 (or $129 for a special Stephen Curry edition) and comes with three months of Google Health Premium. You can read more details about it here.

Gemini takes the coach’s whistle

Perhaps the most Google-y part of this announcement is the integration of the Google Health Coach built with Gemini. This AI-powered companion lives inside the app to provide personalized insights, suggest workouts in the Fitness tab, and even summarize your medical records.

It’s clear that Google is leaning hard into the idea that AI shouldn’t just track your steps, but actually tell you what they mean. The Health Coach will be available as part of Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium), which is now bundled into the Google AI Pro and Ultra tiers.

The rollout for the new Google Health app starts on May 19. If you’re a current Fitbit user, the update should hit your device automatically, bringing the new logo and features along with it.
