Fitbit is advancing its AI Personal Health Coach with the ability to integrate and understand users' medical records. The new feature, arriving in Public Preview for U.S. users in April, will analyze lab results, medications, and doctor visits to provide safer, more personalized guidance. When users provide their records through partnerships with b. well and CLEAR, the AI can offer tailored advice, like specific cholesterol reduction strategies.

The update also brings a 15% improvement in sleep tracking accuracy, better capturing interruptions, naps, and stage transitions. Fitbit is introducing a new "Sleep Score" that evaluates multiple aspects of rest beyond duration. Additionally, the "Get care now" feature will connect users to virtual visits and continuous glucose monitors, allowing questions about how certain foods affect glucose levels.

Android Central notes that while these advancements position Fitbit's coach as a stronger contender, the guidance sometimes feels more like suggestions than concrete plans. Users seeking actionable health insights may still find the coach lacking in definitive steps, despite its expanded capabilities to understand and respond to personal health data.
