Tipster Ishan Agarwal reveals that the app is in the early stages of development as of now. Though it is being tested for several new features, it is not clear when the app will come for use.
Once Google rolls out the app across various platforms like android and iOS, it will build on its Google Fit app for the health-oriented offerings in the company’s software portfolio.
This new health app will be competition to Apple’s Health app, which is bolstered much by the hardware that Apple makes, like Apple Watch. If Android-based wearables or other health monitoring devices help Google achieve a similar ecosystem with the app is yet to be seen.
