Fitbit has announced the expansion of its AI-powered personal health coach to iOS devices in the U.S. and multiple international markets, including the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Originally launched in October 2022 exclusively for U.S. Android users, this update marks a significant step in making AI-assisted health coaching more accessible globally.
To access the AI health coach feature, users must have an active Fitbit Premium subscription, sign in through a Google account on the Fitbit app, and own one of the 14 supported devices, which include various Fitbit wearables and the Pixel Watch. Fitbit plans to roll out the AI health coach gradually over the coming days to ensure a smooth transition for eligible users.
The AI coach, powered by Fitbit’s Gemini technology, offers personalized workout routines and exercises tailored to individual health objectives, fitness equipment availability, and workout preferences. This update represents a substantial enhancement to the Fitbit app, enabling users to interact with an AI-powered health assistant.
