The topic Google Health 5.0 rolling out with new stats widget on Android\u00a0<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

As telegraphed, Google Health is now rolling out as an update to the Fitbit app. On Android, Google Health 5.0 introduces a new homescreen Quick Access Widget.<\/p>\n

This replaces the circular Steps widget with what\u2019s basically the focus section at the top of the Today tab. It mirrors what stats you\u2019ve set.<\/p>\n

The max homescreen layout is 5\u00d73, with the Quick Access Widget surfacing up to six metrics. (Tip: You can remove the Steps or Weekly cardio ring for a more dense interface.) Tapping takes you to the full stats page. You can also shrink this widget to only show one stat.<\/p>\n

The heart in the top-left corner opens the app, while you can quickly jump to the Health Coach at the right or refresh. This widget notes the last update time at the center.<\/p>\n

This update also introduces the new Google Health icon and removes Fitbit branding, which is now reserved just for hardware.<\/p>\n

Version 5.0 is required to set up the Fitbit Air when it launches next week. On Android, the Google Health app started rolling out on May 19, with full availability by May 26.<\/p>\n
