Google Health centralizes user health data

Google has introduced the Google Health app, Google Health Coach, and Fitbit Air to empower users with control over their health data. The Health app consolidates information from various wearables, smart scales, and medical records into a single, secure platform. This integration aims to simplify health tracking, identify trends, and provide personalized recommendations through the Health Coach. Google emphasizes data portability and an open ecosystem, allowing third-party integrations and user-controlled data sharing, with assurances that health data will not be used for advertising.
