Google Health 5.12 Adds Manual Blood Pressure, Pregnancy Logging, and Glucose Visualization
Key points
- Manual blood pressure logging added.
- Pregnancy tracking integrated into Cycle Health.
- Glucose visualization overlays events on graphs.
- Syncing with NHS GP practices and Function Health enabled.
New Health Tracking Features
Google Health version 5.12 now allows users to manually log blood pressure readings or sync them from other applications via Apple Health or Health Connect. Users can access this feature through the '+Log' sign in the Today tab or by interacting with the Google Health Coach for Premium subscribers. Blood pressure graphs are viewable in the Health tab under 'Heart'.
Enhanced Metabolic and Cycle Health
The update includes a new glucose visualization that overlays logged events such as exercise, sleep, and nutrition directly onto the graph, accessible in the Metabolic Health section. Additionally, pregnancy logging and tracking are now available through Cycle Health settings or the Google Health Coach. Activating pregnancy tracking pauses standard cycle predictions and period notifications, transforming the cycle tracking page to display weeks of pregnancy.
Medical Records and Data Syncing
Google Health 5.12 expands medical record syncing capabilities. Users in England can now sync records from many NHS GP practices and a growing number of NHS hospitals by connecting the app to Patients Know Best. Laboratory data from Function Health can also be synced to the Google Health app.
Other Improvements
Nutrition updates include better grouping of individual food items logged within a 60-minute window for improved meal insights. An issue causing artificially low Resilience scores has been fixed, with correct calculations expected for future scores and updates for previous incorrect scores.
