Google Health Coach uses your health and wellness data, including information from your paired Fitbit and Google devices, your account profile, and third-party apps, to provide personalized, proactive guidance and insights.
You can talk with your coach, ask questions, and get advice to help you reach your customized wellness goals. Your coach automatically saves information you share to give you more tailored guidance and insights over time. Learn more about Google Health Coach.
Understand Google Health Coach data & privacy
Data your coach uses
Data your coach uses includes information like:
- Data the Google Health app collects from devices you have paired or data derived from medical device applications..
- Activity and exercise: Including steps, distance, energy burned, weekly cardio load, heart rate, and exercise history details
- Sleep: Including sleep duration, sleep schedule, and sleep stages
- Body and health metrics: Including weight, body fat, heart rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature, and SpO2. Your reproductive and sexual health information, including logged or predicted cycles, symptoms, and related algorithmic insights.
- General device data: Including IP address to identify the country that you’re in, your phone’s language, and GPS coordinates, if you grant permission, to identify the city you’re in and find the weather.
- Google Account and Google Health profile: Your name, age, height, weight, and sex. Interactions with Google Health: Including data entered or uploaded and chat or voice conversations with the Coach.
- Data you choose to share with Google Health: Including synced medical record data from a healthcare provider or other data shared with Google Health.
- Linked-third party apps: Information like activity, sleep, body, and health metrics from other apps you have connected to the Google Health app.
- Manual entries: Inputs that you manually log in the app or share with the coach, and goals you set.
By enabling the Google Health Coach, the Coach will have access to all health and activity data associated with your account. While the underlying collection of certain data types (such as medical records or specific sensor data) may require their own separate consents for ingestion, once collected, that data will be accessible to the Coach. We may add support for additional data sources over time to enhance your experience; these may also require separate permission.
How does coach use my location
- By enabling location (collected in the foreground and background), you allow Google Health Coach to understand your physical environment and regional context in real-time. This ensures that the guidance you receive is accurate for your current location and language. This context helps the Google Health Coach provide more relevant guidance like suggesting a treadmill workout instead of a run during a sudden storm or providing insights based on local health and wellness standards
- Google Health may collect coarse location data from your general device data such as IP address and general location information (such as city and state) derived from your GPS signal to provide environmental insights, including local weather. To protect your privacy, this data is automatically deleted after 30 days. Google Health collects this information even when you aren't actively using the Google Health Coach to ensure your coaching is always up-to-date.
- You can stop sharing your location at any time by navigating to your device's app permissions by selecting "Don’t allow" (Android) or "Never" (iOS) for the Google Health app. This will stop location from being used by the Google Health service, which may impact the coach's ability to provide weather-aware or region-specific health insights.

Differences between your coach and Gemini
Your Google Health Coach uses Gemini models to build your plans, but it works differently than the Gemini. Your Google Health uses your health metrics, goals, workout history, sleep data, and conversation history with the coach to ensure your fitness plan suits you.

For users who have opted into the Google Health Coach, your conversations with our AI features are private. To help us improve and troubleshoot these experimental features, human review of conversation data may occur in two circumstances:
- If you submit feedback in the Google Health app, for example, providing feedback on a specific conversation. This allows our teams to understand the issue, address your feedback, and improve the quality of the feature.
- If you provide separate, explicit consent for your data to be used for research and development, with steps taken to remove personally identifiable information (PII). This is entirely optional.
In the case of a feedback submission, trained reviewers may read, annotate, and process the specific conversation. They may also review associated Google Health health and wellness data, activity logs related to that interaction and basic app information. Please avoid entering confidential information you wouldn't want a reviewer to see.
Outside of these two scenarios, your conversations in Google Health are not accessed by human reviewers. These human-review limitations apply strictly to conversations within the Google Health App. If you choose to share your Google Health data to other Google services or features, those interactions will be governed by the consent, privacy notices and/or human-review protocols applicable to those respective platforms.
To ensure a safe experience and prevent misuse, we perform automated, non-human processing to identify safety risks and address violations of the Google Terms of Service, including the Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy. This monitoring is strictly used to maintain service integrity.
The choice to opt into or out of research is up to you. It is entirely optional. You can opt into and out of research at any time. You can review your consent, update your consent status, download or delete your data in your Google Account settings. You can learn more in our FAQs on Privacy: Google Health.
