Quick answer

Google Health updated its app to allow users to disable AI-generated Health Coach recommendations in the 'Today' tab.

Google has rolled out an update to its Google Health app, introducing the ability to hide AI-generated recommendations from the Health Coach assistant in the 'Today' section. This feature is available in version 5.06 for both Android and iOS, targeting premium subscribers of Google Health Premium, where Health Coach is a key feature.

Powered by the Gemini model, Health Coach uses data stored in Google Health to generate personalized recommendations. Previously, the assistant occupied a significant portion of the main screen, leading to user dissatisfaction due to excessive or inaccurate suggestions. Users can now disable these tips in the app settings while still accessing the assistant through other sections.

The update is already rolling out via the Google Play Store and App Store. The option to disable AI tips was added following user feedback during testing, where many complained about the intrusiveness of the recommendations. Google emphasizes that Health Coach does not replace medical consultations but offers general advice based on collected data.
