More than a decade since its debut and five years after Google acquired it, the Fitbit app is officially rebranding as Google Health. As part of the transition, Google also announced plans to sunset the 12-year-old Google Fit app later this year, though details about migrating user data to Google Health will be released in the coming months.
Google introduced a dramatic redesign of the Fitbit app last year in public beta, centered around a new AI-powered Health Coach chatbot that can provide guidance on anything and everything from your health to fitness, even parse your medical records. Now, the Health Coach is officially exiting beta. Fitbit users will see an app update on May 19 that rebrands the Fitbit app into Google Health.
“The investment we’ve been making the last few years is literally designed for this one moment,” Rishi Chandra, Google’s vice president for health and home, tells WIRED.
