Google Health is rolling out version 5.03 for the Health app, bringing new features for sleep tracking and metrics visibility. The update allows for naps to contribute to total sleep duration, enhancing user awareness of sleep quality.
Google Health version 5.03 is now available for iOS users, while Android users are still undergoing the rollout process. Key highlights of this update include a more extensive metrics dashboard, improved tracking of naps, and enhancements in food search functionality.
The update allows users to add various health metrics such as heart rate variability, blood glucose levels, and mindful minutes directly to their Today tab for quick monitoring. This feature aims to provide a more comprehensive view of daily health and activity, making it easier for users to track their progress.
One significant change in this version is that naps lasting over 20 minutes now contribute to the total sleep duration visible in the Sleep tab. The main sleep sessions and total sleep can now be observed in trends, offering users better insights into their overall sleep patterns.
The update also resolves issues related to swimming metrics, ensuring accurate distance tracking, and synchronization discrepancies with elevation data reported in Strava. These improvements aim to enhance the reliability of data collected during workouts.
Several features introduced in the previous version 5.02 for Android are now available to iOS users, such as the easier re-ordering of key metrics and improved food logging capabilities. This consistency across platforms helps to improve user experience regardless of the device being used.
