Fitbit Labs adds new AI features to help you better understand your health data

Your Fitbit is about to get a little smarter.

The company announced three new AI features today for Fitbit Labs users — one that helps you understand your medical records better, and two that help you understand your own health better.

1. Medical Record Navigator

First up is “Medical Record Navigator,” a tool that turns complex doctors’ reports into something you can easily understand. 

When you’re enrolled in this feature, you can upload lab results to Fitbit and get a Gemini-powered summary (Google owns Fitbit, in case you forgot) with clear language and related educational resources. Instead of complex and potentially scary medical jargon, you’ll see a simple explanation of your results.

This means you’re giving Fitbit access to some fairly sensitive information (and data collected through these labs is used by Fitbit for research and development purposes), but it seems like a useful way to better understand your body.

2. Symptom Checker

Also on the way is “Symptom Checker,” which helps you understand why you’re feeling the way you do. 

When you describe your symptoms (like, “my side aches” or “I’ve had a headache for two days”), the feature will ask some follow-up questions and give you insight into what might be happening.

Fitbit says this is “a starting point” that can help you decide whether you should speak with a doctor.

3. Unusual trends

Last is “Unusual trends,” a feature that tracks small changes in your body that you might not otherwise notice. 

To start, the Fitbit app learns what’s normal for you in areas like your breathing rate while you sleep or your resting heart rate. If something trends away from what’s normal, you’ll get a notification. The app will not only tell you something is potentially amiss, but offer some connections as to why (like stress, a lack of sleep, or an illness), and some steps to address the issue.

Fitbit adds that these features showcase “experimental capabilities” that are only for “investigational use,” and aren’t intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or mitigate any disease or condition.

How to try Fitbit’s AI features

For now, these features are only open to selected Labs users, but it’s likely they’ll see a larger release over time. 

If you want to see if you’re eligible to test them, head to the “You” and “Today” tabs on your Fitbit app, where you’ll see an option to opt in to a lab or join a waitlist.
