Google eyes Gemini integration for Fitbit and smart glasses

A new Fitbit tracker paired with Google's AI could support upcoming smart glasses.

Google is preparing to launch a line of smart glasses through eyewear partners later this year. The company plans to share more details at its I/O developer conference in the coming days. Early tests of a Gemini-powered Google Health app show fitness summaries and coaching features drawn from Fitbit data. Commentators suggest these capabilities could appear on the glasses to provide on-the-go health insights. Meta has already released fitness-oriented smart glasses, but its integration with external fitness data remains limited. Google's ownership of Fitbit since 2020 gives it a potential edge in connecting wearables with AI. Questions remain about how the company will maintain the Fitbit experience for longtime users after replacing the original app.
