Google Health and Fitbit integration

Overview

Google has completed the integration of Fitbit services into the Google ecosystem through the release of Google Health version 5.08. This update made Google accounts mandatory for app usage, officially ending support for standalone Fitbit logins and concluding a migration process that began in 2022.

Following this integration, the version 5.10 update introduced new health monitoring and data management features. In Japan, users with compatible devices can access Irregular Rhythm Notifications to detect potential signs of atrial fibrillation. The update also enhanced the Readiness Score using additional sleep signals and introduced a Google Health Coach, which allows users to manage daily logs via voice or text commands.
