Google has revealed ambitious plans to integrate AI across its health technology offerings at The Check Up event.Â
A personal health chatbot powered by generative AI will debut in the Fitbit app later this year, enabling users to query their fitness data in natural language and uncover insights.
The AI-driven Fitbit chatbot will create personalized charts correlating factors like activity levels and sleep quality. However, this Fitbit Labs feature will initially only be available to Premium subscribers on Android.
Google aims to bridge gaps where text searches fall short for medical queries. Its AI-powered Google Lens can now identify visually similar online images for over 150 skin conditions, aiding diagnosis without specific medical terminology.
New multimedia web results are also rolling out to provide visual guides for comprehending ailments like neck pain, migraines, kidney stones, and pneumonia.
Google Research and Fitbit are collaborating with health experts to build a specialized large language model (LLM) based on Gemini. This medical AI model will eventually power Google’s diverse health AI features.
As Google pursues its AI ambitions in healthcare, user privacy and reliable information sources remain considerations.
