Google has announced the rebranding of its Fitbit health app to Google Health, a move that expands the company's presence in the digital health sector across Android and iOS platforms. This includes direct integration with Apple Health and users' medical records.

The new app allows users to collect health data from a wide range of wearable devices, including smartwatches and fitness trackers, and syncs the data with Apple Health. This enables users to view their health and fitness data on a unified platform, even when switching between iPhones and Android devices.

Google confirmed that the app also supports importing medical records, providing a more comprehensive picture of the user's health status, as the company seeks to enhance its AI-powered paid health services.

This coincides with the launch of Google's new Fitbit Air, a lightweight, screenless fitness tracker compatible with both iOS and Android, a rare move by Google to offer a fully integrated, cross-platform health device. The company is focusing on the device as a lighter alternative to Pixel Watches, especially during sleep or extended daily use.
