Personal health coach uses your health data, including information from your paired Fitbit devices, profile, and third-party apps, to provide personalized, proactive guidance and insights. You can talk with your coach, ask questions, and get advice to help you reach your customized wellness goals. Your coach automatically saves information you share as Coach Notes, then uses those notes to give you more tailored guidance and insights over time.
This feature is currently in Public Preview and requires a Fitbit Premium subscription.

If you use your coach, Fitbit will use your historical and future health and wellness data to generate personalized insights. This includes:
-
Data the Fitbit app collects, like data from devices you have paired.
-
Activity and exercise (like steps, distance, energy burned, weekly cardio load, heart rate, and exercise history details)
-
Sleep (like sleep duration, sleep schedule, and sleep stages)
-
Body and health metrics (like weight, body fat, heart rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature, and SpO2)
-
General device data (like IP address to identify the country that you’re currently located in and your phone’s language).
-
-
Your Fitbit profile info, like your name, age, height, weight, and sex.
-
Your interactions with Fitbit, including data entered or uploaded, conversations with the Coach, and Coach Notes.
-
Activity, sleep, body, and health metrics from third-party apps you’ve linked.
-
Inputs that you manually log in the app or share with the coach, and goals you set.
Your personal health coach in the Fitbit app is built with Gemini models, but is not the same as the Gemini app. The key difference lies in access to your personal data.
Your coach can access your health metrics, goals, workout history, sleep, daily activity, and Coach Notes to create and adapt a personalized fitness plan. Gemini can't access this information directly, so any plan it creates will be generic, based only on information you provide.
Your conversations with Fitbit’s AI features are private. Human review of conversation data is limited to two specific circumstances, and used only to help improve and troubleshoot these experimental features:
-
If you submit feedback on a specific conversation, human reviewers may review the conversation to understand the issue and improve the feature’s quality.
-
If you provide separate, explicit consent for your data to be used for research and development, with steps taken to remove personally identifiable information (PII). This is optional.
If you submit feedback, trained reviewers may read, annotate, and process the specific conversation. They may also review associated Fitbit health and wellness data, activity logs related to that interaction, and basic app information. Please don’t enter sensitive or confidential information you wouldn't want a reviewer to see.
AI interactions in the Fitbit app are not used for training generative models unless you provide separate, explicit consent for your data to be used for research and development.
