Fitbit’s AI health coach will soon be able to read your medical records

Would you share your medical records with a personal trainer? How about a virtual one? Google, which this week announced it is giving Fitbit's AI health coach the ability to read your medical records, is hoping the answer is yes, following rivals like Amazon, OpenAI, and Microsoft in betting that users are willing to trade their most sensitive data in exchange for more personalized health advice.

Starting next month in preview, US Fitbit users will be able to link their medical records to the Fitbit app.
