Android Fast Pair, a convenient feature on Android devices, may soon support a wider range of accessories, including health-related devices. According to code, Bluetooth blood pressure monitors could be supported, potentially extending to glucometers, pulse oximeters, smart weighing scales, and other similar devices. Moreover, these devices might let users decide whether to sync data with Health Connect during setup.

It has already been expanded to include hearing aids, making them easier to connect to Android devices. Now, Google seems to be working on further expanding support to other health devices for enhanced user experience.
