Track subtle changes in your body with Health Guardian features on Pixel and Fitbit
A new level of proactive health and wellness is coming to your wrist.
Google is set to launch Health Guardian, a suite of proactive health features for Pixel Watch and Fitbit devices. These features will track body metrics quietly in the background 24/7, monitoring insulin resistance, blood pressure, sleep breathing quality, and emergency respiratory events. The data will be shared in a monthly summary in the Google Health app, highlighting notable shifts.
Timely notifications will also alert users to potential issues that require attention. A dedicated Google Health Coach will help users understand their data and provide practical lifestyle changes to improve health and wellness. The technology behind Health Guardian is the result of years of AI research, where advanced models taught themselves human biology by observing sensor data from millions of users.
These models have undergone clinical validation and can fill in the blanks when devices miss data. However, Health Guardian features are not intended for medical purposes and should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. They also cannot substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical questions.
The features are intended for general wellness and are not a prescreener for diabetes or hypertension. Blood pressure trends, insulin resistance trends, sleep breathing quality, and high/low heart rate alerts are available on select devices, with availability varying by region/country.
