The giant Google has announced that Fitbit users who do not have the premium subscription will be able to access the historical data collected. In other words, all people with these ‘wearables’ will be able to review the evolution of their activity completely free of charge.
In a business move that seems destined to revitalize its Fitbit product line, history of health metrics such as respiratory rate, recovery and heart rate variation, skin temperature or blood oxygen will become free.
Until now, it was necessary to be subscribed to the Fitbit Premium service to be able to review the metrics of the last 7, 30 or 90 days. That is, users who did not pay did not have their historical data available.
As explained by Google itself, with this measure they aspire to help their users control and study their physical activity, monitoring some of the body indicators plus changes in order to get a better idea of ??their condition.
Google continues to bet heavily on health. With its services, the tech giant aims to help thousands of people lead healthier lives. To do this, the company is directing its Artificial Intelligence services, platforms and technologies to this sector.
For years, people around the world have turned to the Google search engine to solve health-related questions. According to data shared by the company itself, in 2021, videos hosted on YouTube related to health problems registered more than 110,000 million views.
The company also wants to contribute to addressing one of the world’s great health challenges: mental health. Google has also announced an agreement with ThroughLine, a global health crisis helpline company that operates around the world.
With this agreement, Google will include emergency crisis help numbers in searches related to suicide or violence.
