Fitbit is expanding its Gemini-powered health coach with a wave of new features, including nutrition tracking, cycle health tools, and mental wellbeing insights.
The update builds on the AI-driven coach launched earlier this year. It adds more ways for users to track and understand their overall health in one place.
One of the biggest additions is cycle tracking, which lets users log periods and symptoms directly within the app. While basic tracking appears to be available to free users, Fitbit notes that more personalised insights remain part of its Premium offering.
The coach is also gaining nutrition and hydration tracking. Users can log meals, monitor calorie intake, and keep track of daily water consumption. In addition, Fitbit says it will provide personalised macronutrient ranges. This will give users clearer guidance on how to balance their diet based on their goals.
Mental wellbeing is another new focus. Users can now log their mood, track mindfulness sessions, and get a better sense of how their body handles stress through an updated resilience score. This builds on Fitbit’s existing stress management tools.
Alongside these additions, Fitbit is loosening access to its Public Preview programme. Users no longer need a Fitbit Premium subscription to try the redesigned app. However, features like the AI coach itself, “Ask Coach” functionality, and custom fitness plans will still sit behind a paywall.
The update follows a steady stream of improvements to the health coach, including recent support for continuous glucose monitors. This lets users ask how certain foods might impact their glucose levels. Google has also been expanding availability. The company has been bringing the feature to markets including the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore in recent months.
