The Google Health app has been officially announced by the tech brand as a unified health and wellness tool for consumers to incorporate into their everyday routine to maximize insight access and more. The new app will launch on both Android and iOS operating systems, and will replace the Fitbit app as Google's core health and wellness-focused tool. The app will enable users to access multimodal logging to track workouts, food and various other health data by simply typing it, speaking it or taking a picture which will be automatically recognized and logged by artificial intelligence (AI).
The Google Health app will help users make sense of all their various health, lifestyle and wellness activities by offering access to the Google Health Coach that will answer questions and offer pertinent guidance.
