Next week, Google Health will introduce significant changes to its app, impacting several key features of Fitbit. Notably, the Sleep Profile and the monthly animals feature will not transition to the new platform. Users of the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 will lose access to Snore Detection as well.
Replacing the previous Estimated Oxygen Variation (EOV) is the SpO2 data found in the Health tab. The Cardio fitness score has been rebranded as VO2 max, which will be computed during GPS-enabled runs and can now integrate data from third-party applications. This new calculation method will no longer factor in personal demographics.
Changes also include a shift from the Stress score to a new “Resilience” metric, categorized as Optimal, Balanced, or Low. Minute-by-minute Skin Temperature tracking will be replaced with only daily and weekly data. Moreover, the ability to add symptoms for blood glucose tracking has been removed, although users can still import data from glucose monitors.
Additional modifications consist of the discontinuation of calorie targets linked to “Food Plans,” while personalized calorie targets can still be set. Premium users will no longer have access to recipes, and the introduction of a new social profile will streamline user information sharing.
