Google is teaming up with Abbott to expand its AI-powered health coaching tools. Under a multi-year agreement, the two companies will integrate continuous glucose monitoring data from Abbott's Lingo system into the Google Health app.
This integration allows users of the Google Health app to view their glucose trends alongside other personal health information. This new capability is part of a larger effort by Google to use AI to better understand and improve its user experience. The integration also marks another step in Google's efforts to expand access to diabetes management, as it aims to provide more detailed insights into glucose levels for those living with the condition.
The partnership between Google and Abbott has significant implications for users of both companies' health apps. By combining data from these sources, users will have a more comprehensive picture of their health and wellness. The move also reflects Google's goal to make its services more personalized and relevant to individual needs.
