Summary
Google is giving Fitbit's AI health coach the ability to read users' medical records, starting next month in the US. Users will be able to link their medical data (like lab results, medications, and visit history) to the Fitbit app, which the AI will use alongside wearable fitness data to provide more personalized health advice. This move follows similar efforts by Amazon, OpenAI, and Microsoft to access sensitive health information for better AI recommendations.
