Google has added new health monitoring features to its Pixel Watch 5 and Google Health app, including the ability to detect breathing emergencies. The company is also expanding proactive health tracking with blood pressure and insulin resistance trend analysis.
The Pixel Watch 5 can now detect potential breathing emergencies, according to a recent announcement from Google. This feature aims to provide users with an added layer of safety by monitoring their respiratory rate and alerting them if anomalies are detected.
Beyond emergency detection, Google is also integrating tools for tracking blood pressure and insulin resistance trends within the Google Health app. These additions allow users to monitor these health metrics over time, potentially aiding in proactive healthcare management. The company did not specify *how* the watch detects these conditions, only that the data will be available through the app.
The new features build upon Google’s existing suite of health and wellness tools for its wearable devices and aim to empower users with more insights into their overall health.
