The Pixel Watch 5's blood pressure and insulin resistance trends are rolling out this week
The first trend reports for the health data will be available in early October.
Health Features and App Updates
When Google debuted its latest Pixel smartwatch last month, one of the standout features announced was the Health Guardian toolset. This platform promised insights into blood pressure, insulin resistance, and sleep breathing. The Google Health app will start receiving the Health Guardian lineup this week, with the first wave of trend reports available in early October.
This rollout means tracking can begin for blood pressure trends, insulin resistance trends, and sleep breathing quality metrics for owners of Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5 devices. Wearers with fourth and fifth-generation Pixel Watches in European countries will also gain access to Google's Breathing Emergency Detection tool, which automatically contacts emergency services if a severe drop in blood oxygen is observed.
Smartwatch owners will be able to access these new health features for free. Subscribers to Google Health Premium will also gain access to the insulin resistance and blood pressure trends later this year, though an exact release date has not been specified.
