The collaboration is designed to bring metabolic health insights into people's daily routines through a seamless, AI-powered experience. Through the Google Health app, Lingo users will be able to view glucose trends alongside other health and wellness metrics in a unified experience, helping them better understand how daily behaviors influence their overall well-being. Google's Health Coach will use these insights to deliver personalized, contextual recommendations designed to help users build sustainable habits related to nutrition, activity, sleep and recovery.
The partnership will focus on three areas:
- Connecting glucose data to a more complete picture of health: Integrating ongoing glucose insights from the Lingo continuous glucose monitor (CGM) into Google Health to help users understand their body's response to daily habits and make better lifestyle and nutrition choices in the moment.
- Delivering AI-powered, personalized health guidance: Combining glucose insights with Google Health Coach to provide tailored recommendations that help people build healthier habits.
- Establishing new science about metabolic health: Conducting one of the largest real-world metabolic health studies to date, integrating continuous glucose, wearable, laboratory, and survey data to uncover connections between activity, sleep, wellbeing, and metabolic health, informing more personalized guidance that supports healthier day-to-day decisions.
Rates of metabolic health challenges continue to rise globally. Prediabetes, one of the fastest-growing health crises in the U.S., impacts over 115 million American adults with more than 2 in 5 adults affected and approximately 8 in 10 are completely unaware they have it.[1] Additionally, poor metabolic health can lead to other chronic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.[2] The partnership between Abbott and Google Health aims to help people better understand the connection between their daily habits and overall well-being, empowering earlier and more informed action to help slow the development and progression of conditions related to poor metabolic health.
Lingo is for individuals 18 years of age or older who are not using insulin and want to make informed decisions about their health. By showing how food, movement and stress affect glucose, Lingo can help people make small, science-backed adjustments that can lead to measurable improvements in overall health and well-being.
