Google Health 5.11 is rolling out this week as a rather big update for Fitbit trackers and the Pixel Watch.

The Improved Automatic Activity Tracking is available now for the Fitbit Air, Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, with the Fitbit Edge getting the capabilities at launch on October 27.

Tracks more activities : We expanded the number of activities your Fitbit tracker or Pixel Watch can detect from 10 to up to 100, including strength training, swimming, and racket and team sports.

Uses more context : Powered by contextual reasoning, we now factor in more context — including your workout routines, historical data, manual edits — to deliver nearly 2x more accurate detections and cut missed workouts by more than half. 2

Logs workouts automatically : Workouts that meet your minimum duration threshold (15 minutes by default) with a sustained elevated heart rate are automatically logged, and a summary is sent to the Google Health app, typically within 30 minutes.

Learns your patterns : When you confirm or edit an activity, you’re improving a feature that learns your unique patterns and uses them to refine its predictions.

The Fitbit Air and Edge are getting two Health Guardian features if you’re a Google Health Premium subscriber. You can set up blood pressure and insulin resistance trends now, with the first report available at the beginning of November.
