In November, Google Assistant gained integration with third-party fitness trackers to natively inform you about your activity. Even though the feature was limited to sleep data and exclusive to Fitbit devices, Google is expanding to smart displays, which can now proactively display this information.
In the Wellness section of the app, there is now a new option to enable “Proactive health and fitness results” on your smart monitors, which essentially means that your devices will show wellness data when idle, allowing you – and potentially other family members – check it out at a glance.
Although the feature appears to be compatible with Nest Hubs, Nest Hub Maxes and Lenovo Smart Clocks, it was not possible to make them show our fitness data, even after enabling the option in the wizard settings. In addition to sleep tracking, we hope that Google will soon support other fitness data as well as other providers. This new functionality could also be a way for Google to use data from its new Soli “Interactive Device” sensor, which can track your sleep without the need for another device.
