Fitbit’s AI-powered Personal Health Coach is designed to give you more personalized guidance, and various new upgrades are coming to help improve sleep and better understand your medical history.

Fitbit’s AI Personal Health Coach is in a public preview on both Android and iOS. These two new features join the series of upgrades available through the AI-powered feature, but you’ll need to sign up for the early version of the software to access the suite of tools.

The brand says it’s now better at detecting when you’re asleep rather than when you’re tossing and turning in bed. The new datasets for training the feature are designed to better understand interruptions in your sleep pattern, transitions between sleep stages, or whether you’re just napping.

That then feeds into your overall Sleep Score, a feature Fitbit has had for a long time, which now better evaluates your rest by measuring how long it took you to fall asleep. Fitbit says that it can then inform its coaching features to help you build a better sleep routine.

The tracking is rolling out to devices now, and its influence on Sleep Score will appear in the “coming weeks,” as it needs time to monitor your data before it can implement advice.

Additionally, Fitbit will soon let those on the Public Preview software share their medical records to better understand their overall health. It says it’ll let you share lab results, medications, and visit history with Personal Health Coach.

Google is partnering with b. well and CLEAR platforms to help you connect directly to your healthcare provider, requiring a selfie and a valid ID to access your records. It also says it believes “data privacy is key,” confirming there will be options to control how your data is shared, alongside a confirmation that your health information won’t be used to inform ads.

Why would you want to share such private information with Fitbit’s AI coach? The brand says it helps give “safer, more relevant and more personalized” guidance if you share the full picture of your health.

Fitbit’s marketing materials give the example of someone asking about their cholesterol levels. It says, “The coach can then summarize your cholesterol labs, highlighting notable values and trends, and provide personalized wellness information based on your medical history and wearable data.”

Medical record support is set to launch in the “coming months,” with no clear timeline from Fitbit.
