Google Health blood pressure logging tool rolls out to Fitbit Air
Google Health is rolling out its manual blood pressure tracking feature to Fitbit Air users on Android and iOS devices. The gradual update lets users record readings or sync them from compatible apps without requiring a premium subscription.
Google Health is expanding its manual blood pressure logging feature to Fitbit Air users across both Android and iOS platforms. Initially announced with version 5.12 of the Health app, the capability is now appearing for users in stages, allowing them to record measurements or sync them from other compatible apps via Health Connect or Apple Health. While the update consolidates health records into graphs under the Heart tab, the Fitbit Air itself cannot measure blood pressure directly, meaning users still require a separate monitor. Manual tracking and viewing readings do not require a Google Health Premium subscription, though premium subscribers have the option to record measurements through the Google Health Coach.
