Google Gives Fitbit AI Health Coach Access to Your Medical Records
The Verge·medium signal
Google announced it is enabling Fitbit's AI health coach to read users' medical records, expanding the assistant from fitness data into full health history. The integration raises immediate questions about consent, HIPAA boundaries, and what Google can infer by combining wearable behavioral data with clinical records. This positions Google Health as a direct competitor to dedicated health AI platforms and marks a significant escalation in personal health data aggregation by a consumer platform.
