Summary
Google is launching Health Guardian, a suite of tools for Pixel and Fitbit devices that utilizes physiological data to detect early signs of insulin resistance. This shift moves wearables from passive step-counting to proactive metabolic health diagnostics for mass-market consumers.
The launch adds another player to Diagnostics and Devices. The things to watch are where it will be sold, what it costs, and who can actually get it.
