Your Fitbit already tracks everything from your steps to your sleep patterns, giving people access to a positive deluge of information about their every waking moment.
Google (GOOG) has decided that users need more, however. During the live-streamed event The Check Up, Google revealed that a new feature is coming to future Fitbit models: artificial intelligence.Google and Fitbit said that they are partnering to build a Personal Health Large Language Model (LLM) that will help users make more sense of all the data that Fitbit gathers. It will run using Gemini, Google’s AI model, and be trained using “anonymous data from real, human case studies gathered from accredited coaches and wellness experts.”
As an example, Google said that the model could be used to break down how exercise impacts the quality of a person’s sleep, or vice versa.
Google said that the model will become available to a limited number of premium Android users on Fitbit Labs later this year. It is unclear when tech will roll out on a wider basis.
