Google Health app to track insulin resistance on wearables

The Story in Brief

Google has announced that its Health app will soon detect insulin resistance through wearable devices, alerting users to changes that may signal a need for lifestyle adjustments or a doctor's visit. The feature, described as a first for wearables, will analyse health metrics gathered from devices such as smartwatches to identify shifts in the body's response to insulin. The app will then offer notifications if signs of insulin resistance appear to have changed. Users can consider lifestyle changes or consult a physician based on the alerts. NDTV reports that the update is part of a broader push to integrate health monitoring into Google's wearable ecosystem.
