Fitbit is broadening its experimental health tool offerings with the addition of three new features to its Fitbit Labs initiative. This program, launched last year, provides select users early access to experimental tools powered by Google’s Gemini AI, aimed at enhancing personal health management.
The first of the new tools is the Medical Record Navigator, which uses Google’s Gemini AI to simplify complex lab reports. Users can upload their latest lab results to the Fitbit app, where the tool will break down the information into easy-to-understand health summaries. In addition to simplifying the data, it offers educational context to help users interpret their results more effectively.
Fitbit also plans to roll out two additional features in the coming weeks. The Symptom Checker tool will help users investigate unexplained health concerns. By inputting symptoms such as headaches or fatigue, users will receive a series of follow-up questions designed to narrow down potential causes.
The third upcoming feature, Unusual Trends, monitors users’ health data for subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as fluctuations in heart rate variability or sleep breathing patterns. The tool learns what is typical for each individual and alerts users to any anomalies that may signal potential health issues.
While these tools offer helpful insights, Google and Fitbit emphasize that they are not intended for diagnosing or treating any medical conditions. Instead, they are designed to support ongoing research and development as part of Fitbit’s exploration of future health features.
