Google Health is expanding its development program by enlisting a group of athletes, creators, and wellness experts to help shape the next version of its health tools. The collaboration centers on the Google Health app, Google Health Coach, and integrations with Fitbit wearables, as the company seeks to make health technology more intuitive and personalized for everyday users.
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW
Stephen Curry has been designated as the official Performance Advisor for Google Health, bringing his tech curiosity to product teams. He and his trainers work with Google engineers to test coaching features built with Gemini using live biometric data, and to co-design hardware that translates athletic insights into simple daily tips. TechStaged has also covered Google Health and Fitbit Air expand smarter health ecosystem with Edge tracker and Health Guardian.
Bryson DeChambeau contributes by inputting off‑course training data, rest, and energy burn into Google’s algorithms to fine‑tune personalized Health Coach insights.
Other participants include JuJu Watkins, Chari Hawkins, Sophia Wilson, Alex Cooper, MrBeast, Jess Sims, and Kylie Sakaida, each using Google Health tools in various daily-life and training contexts to demonstrate how the platform can support routine health, recovery, and nutrition goals.
