Google announced it is expanding the insightful data available through Fitbit’s Health Metrics Dashboard to all users. That means you don’t need a subscription to fully access this feature.

Google enhancements make it easier to see more health trends over a much longer period of time than just showing weekly health information on specific metrics like breathing rate or resting heart rate. rice field.

The ability to track individual ranges, view multi-day trends, and view typical ranges for each metric is also available.
Fitbit’s Health Metric tile gives you some stats about your health. It provides a day’s worth of insight and a “history” option to go back in time and see how things have changed.
- Respiration rate: This metric is the number of breaths you make in one minute.
- Heart rate variability (HRV): This metric is the variation in time between heartbeats.
- Skin Temperature: This metric is the change in skin temperature measured from your wrist while you sleep.
- Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): This metric estimates the amount of oxygen in your blood and is only available on compatible devices
- Resting heart rate (RHR): This metric is your heart rate per minute when you are still and well rested.
Fitbit collects health data as long as the consumer is using a compatible Pixel, Fitbit or Nest device such as Pixel Watch, Fitbit Sense 2 or Nest Hub Max. Google’s changes are part of an effort to help people become more aware of their health, but the metrics shown are not intended to diagnose specific conditions, nor are they intended to treat medical conditions. If you feel really unwell, it is recommended that you see a doctor.
These changes will roll out to all Fitbit users later this month.

Google notes how it’s introducing additional tools to its conversational AI Duplex to help people find the right healthcare provider with the right information.
