Google Health 5.12 rolling out with manual blood pressure & pregnancy logging, more

Google Health has released version 5.12 of its app for Android and iOS devices, introducing several new features. Users can now manually log their blood pressure readings or sync them from other apps using Apple Health or Health Connect. To manually log a reading, users can tap the +Log sign in the Today tab and select Blood pressure.

Alternatively, Premium subscribers can log their blood pressure by chatting with their Google Health Coach. The app also features a new glucose visualization that overlays logged and tracked events such as exercise, sleep, and nutrition on the graph. Users can access this in the Metabolic Health section of the Health tab and log events directly from the graph.

For pregnant users, Google Health 5.12 allows direct logging and tracking of pregnancy through Cycle Health settings or by chatting with a Google Health Coach (for Premium subscribers). When users log pregnancy, their standard cycle predictions and period notifications are paused, and the cycle tracking page changes to display their current weeks of pregnancy. Premium subscribers benefit from personalized coach conversations and feed card insights.

It's important to note that Personal Health Records stored with Google may not be comprehensive or accurate, and users should always consult their doctor for medical advice or an official copy of their health records for clinical or government purposes. The app requires a Google Health Premium subscription, the Google Health app, and an internet connection.

Features may change, and availability varies. Finally, Google Health is not intended for medical purposes, and users should verify the accuracy of responses from Gemini features.
