According to foreign media reports, Google is currently planning to launch a health service called Google Fit, which can collect and aggregate data on mainstream fitness trackers and health applications, said Google will be on June 25th and 26th. The Google Fit service was officially released at the I/O conference.
Obviously, Google Fit is Google's direct weapon to challenge Apple's health management platform HealthKit, which debuted at the WWDC Global Developers Conference last week and is expected to be released this fall along with iOS 8 and Apple's own wearables. In addition, Samsung also released a similar health data collection platform Sami last month, which shows that a battle in the field of health data is inevitable.
Or will be unveiled at the I/O conference
It is understood that Google will be able to open more API interfaces and instruction sets at this I/O conference to share data between health applications and Google Fit, and will also announce more partners in the field of wearable devices. . Sources pointed out that Google Fit will allow wearable devices that track data such as user steps and heart rate to access Google's cloud services and become part of the Google Fit ecosystem. Google has not commented on the above news, and it is unclear whether Google will include Google Fit in Android's native service, or as a standalone app for Android users to download and use.
By convention, Google will release a variety of software products at the I / O conference, and this year it is possible to arrange a meeting on Google Fit to organize developers to explore it. It is reported that the first day of this I/O conference will have a conference with the theme of "Google Wearable Technology", and the next day there will be a conference with the theme of "Android and Cloud Computing", so the media speculates that Google may be Google Fit was released on the first day of the I/O conference.
Technology giants follow suit
Building a health management platform has always been difficult for both Google and Apple. After all, similar platforms will involve how to handle user privacy data, how to provide valuable feedback to users, and whether they can pass the US Food and Drug Administration. Bureau (FDA) review and so on.
Google has previously tried to build a Google Health health portal in the field, but the site was shut down by Google in 2012. “Actually, Google Health has been struggling because users don’t want to share their data at all,†said Derek Newell, CEO of digital medical platform Jiff. “There are no users in this area yet, they What I want more is the meaning, rewards and feedback of doing so."
As far as the current situation is concerned, Google may want to integrate the new health platform with the wearable operating system Android Wear, so that users wearing Android Wear devices can synchronize the data of steps, heart rate and body temperature to the Google Fit platform in real time. Provide a data base for the next intake analysis and health recommendations.
Nowadays, technology giants including Apple, Samsung and Google all use "data collection" as the "next step" to expand the ecosystem. After all, after the rapid development in recent years, the popularity of wearable devices has been formed, so build A powerful data collection and analysis platform is still quite promising.
The report said that Microsoft will also release a smart watch that can continuously track users' heart rate later this year. It is not clear whether Microsoft will release a health data platform similar to Google Fit, because the company has already been in 2010. HealthVault, a web platform that focuses on storing health and fitness information, was launched.
Apple said at the WWDC conference last week that the HealthKit platform will send data collected by wearable devices and health applications to Apple's Health app, allowing users to access data such as steps, sleep, heart rate and personal medical records. Stored in the Health app, and some third-party apps can access the Health app's data to provide targeted advice and services to users.
Expected to be integrated into Android
At present, Google's Android is the undisputed overlord in the smart phone market. It is expected that by the end of this year, Android's share in the global smart phone market is expected to exceed 80%, while Apple's share is only 14.8%, but it is undeniable that open source Android faces The problems and challenges are more than iOS.
If Google integrates the Google Fit platform in the next Android version, then Samsung may replace it with its own health management platform Sami. Although Samsung is a "hardcore fan" of Android, it has been getting rid of the limitations of Google services through deep customization. In addition to replacing some of Google's native services with its own services, Samsung also launched its own operating system this year. Gear Smart Watch and bracelet product Gear Fit.
"At present, everyone attaches great importance to the creation of a health data platform, but so far there is no unified data standard," Newell said. "Apple and Samsung hope to collect a large amount of user data, and thus mobilize more developers to these. The data is being used in depth, and it is clear that Google has also seen the huge potential of this market and has acted."
