Google is planning to launch a new health service called Google Fit to collect and aggregate data from popular fitness trackers and health-related apps. It will launch the service at the Google I/O conference for developers, being held on June 25 and 26.
Google Fit will aggregate data through open APIs, instruction sets that allow apps to share information, and will also announce partnerships with wearable device makers at its I/O conference.This will be more complicated because of the given reasons: the concern over privacy and how best to process information as sensitive as health data.Google has been in this field before with Google Health, which also acted as a
health portal but was shut down in 2012.
