These are all the new features you can expect to see with the Air.

Google is all about freshness for fall. In addition to announcing the new Fitbit Edge on Monday, the company also has three new features coming to its Fitbit Air, first released in May.

There’s Health Guardian, Google’s proactive health and safety tools, available in the Google Health app. It works in the background to monitor your body’s health and wellness signals, provides a monthly summary of your health indicators and trends and sends timely notifications for anything that requires your immediate attention.

In the free Google Health app, Health Guardian includes irregular heart rhythm notifications and high and low heart rate notifications. With the Pixel Watch 3 and up, you also get loss-of-pulse notifications.

In the Premium version, which costs $10 monthly or $100 yearly, you can access these newer features: insulin resistance levels, blood pressure trends and sleep breathing quality trends. They work with the Pixel Watch 3 and up and the Fitbit Air.

Health Guardian will also come to the new Fitbit Edge, though we don’t have a specific date yet. 

Insulin resistance refers to when your body doesn’t respond to insulin the way it should. Produced by your pancreas, insulin regulates your body’s glucose levels, moving glucose from your blood into your cells so that it can be used for energy.

Google Health’s insulin resistance doesn’t rely on readings from a continuous glucose monitor or lab work. Instead, it uses sensors on the Pixel Watch 3 and up and Fitbit Air to estimate insulin resistance and monitor shifts in your metabolic health.
