Fitbit Labs Unveils 'Insights Explorer' with Google AI, Offering Personalized Health Insights
October 9, 2024This tool includes suggested prompts to help users formulate their inquiries and aims to enhance overall health literacy.
Fitbit has introduced a new initiative called Fitbit Labs, enabling select users to test experimental health tools powered by Google's Gemini AI.
The first feature from this initiative is the 'Insights Explorer,' which utilizes Gemini to deliver personalized health-related insights.
The chatbot will provide tailored insights about workouts and general health, focusing on specific data types like activity, sleep, and heart health.
Access to these lab features may be limited, potentially requiring a Fitbit Premium subscription, and users might face a waitlist if demand exceeds capacity.
Gemini, which powers these features, is capable of condensing lengthy texts and videos, analyzing images, and processing extensive documents.
Developed by DeepMind and Google Research, Gemini was launched in December 2023 and includes various versions tailored for different user needs.
The Gemini Pro version can handle up to 32,000 tokens, while the Ultra version can process up to one million tokens, facilitating complex data analysis.
The free version of Gemini offers access to AI features in 40 languages, with advanced capabilities available through a monthly subscription.
Google emphasizes safety and ethical considerations in its AI developments, focusing on mitigating bias and ensuring compliance with regulations.
This expansion into health tools reflects Google's broader strategy to innovate and enhance its technological competitiveness.
Qualified users can access these experimental features through a new option in the app's 'You' tab, with immediate sign-up or waitlist options available.
