Google's Latest Fitbit Labs Features: Early Health Warnings and Hypertension Study

Google is expanding its Fitbit Labs features with the introduction of two new health-related tests: Unusual Trend Detection and Hypertension Study Lab. These new features are currently undergoing testing and are expected to be included in future smartwatches. However, the Pixel Watch 3 is notably excluded from the current testing phase. To participate in the tests, users can access the Fitbit Labs page on Android and follow the instructions provided.

Google's Hypertension Study and Competition

Apple recently introduced hypertension notifications on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models, offering users valuable health insights. It seems that Google is also working on a similar feature with Fitbit Labs, along with Samsung, who has been offering blood pressure monitoring on select Galaxy Watch models. While these smartwatch health features can provide useful information, it's important to remember that they are not medical devices and should not be considered a replacement for professional medical advice.
