Function and Google Health Join Forces to Revolutionize Daily Health Tracking

A New Era in Health Tracking: Function and Google Health Collaboration

In a groundbreaking effort to unify personal wellness tracking, Function and Google Health have teamed up to connect daily activities with what’s occurring inside the body. Set to launch in the U.S. this fall, this innovative partnership allows users to seamlessly share their Function lab test results through the Google Health app, bringing clarity and comprehension to their health journeys.

The collaboration creates a unique ecosystem, combining the power of wearables like Google’s Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch 5 with over 160 lab tests offered by Function. Users will be able to interpret vital signs including resting heart rate, sleep patterns, heart rate variability (HRV), and cardio load. These devices will not only track fitness metrics but, when blended with lab results, can unveil deeper physiological insights.

Understanding Health Through Technology

Jonathan Swerdlin, Co-Founder and CEO of Function, emphasizes that “everyone deserves to own their health,” pointing to the importance of moving away from fragmented health data toward a streamlined, secure system that supports everyday health decisions. This partnership is designed to facilitate deeper understandings among various aspects of health, including:

1. Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health: Through insightful markers such as Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), Lipoprotein(a), and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), users can gain context that goes beyond standard wearable measurements.
2. Hormonal and Nutritional Analysis: Offering advanced testing for hormones and nutrients, this initiative extends the reach of traditional health screenings, addressing gaps that often exist in routine checkups.
3. Habits and Health Correlation: By combining daily behaviors with biological markers in one cohesive view, individuals can better recognize how factors like sleep, nutrition, and exercise influence their overall health over time.

The aggregated insights provided by the Gordon Health Coach, when paired with user lab results, build a personalized health profile that supports proactive wellness guidance. This tailored approach empowers users to identify health changes early, make timely decisions regarding lifestyle modifications, and engage meaningfully during healthcare consultations.
