TL;DR
- A new Google Health update adds 13 additional metrics tile options to the Today tab.
- The update also fixes bugs related to elevation data and swimming activities.
- Google Health 5.03 will roll out starting today.
In May, the same day he announced his lightweight. fitbit air tracker, Google officially The Fitbit app has been renamed Google Health.. The new Google Health features a completely redesigned app interface with plenty of AI integration, but the updated app’s Today home screen was a bit missing at launch. Following other Today tweaks introduced in the past month update 5.02Google announced that you can now add a lot more information to the Today tab.
Google presented the latest improvements in an announcement post on the Google Health Help Center forum today. The biggest changes coming to Google Health in the new 5.03 update are new nap tracking and the option to add tons of metrics that were previously only accessible from the Health tab to the Today tab.
Starting with Google Health 5.03, logged naps longer than 20 minutes will now contribute to users’ 24-hour sleep duration, as displayed in the Sleep tab of the app. However, they will not count towards the nightly total visible in the Today tab tile.
You can now also add tiles for many health metrics to the Today tab that weren’t available before. There are 13 new tiles to choose from:
- blood glucose
- respiratory rate
- carbohydrate intake
- fat intake
- friends leaderboard
- heart rate variability
- conscious days
- conscious minutes
- oxygen saturation (SpO2)
- protein intake
- resilience
- resting heart rate
- skin temperature variation
Additionally, Google says it has fixed a couple of bugs related to swimming workouts and elevation gain numbers for activities tracked with Strava. All of these changes are available in version 5.03 of the Google Health app on both Android and iOS (the iOS version also includes some feature updates that Android users received in previous versions of the app).
I still see version 5.02 here, but Google says Google Health version 5.03 will be rolling out starting today.
