Google Pixel Watch 5 Adds Insulin Resistance Tracking and Health Monitoring Features
Google has introduced a new Health Guardian feature on the Pixel Watch 5 and compatible devices that tracks insulin resistance trends using AI and sensor data without requiring blood samples. This tool estimates changes in metabolic health by analyzing physiological signals like heart rate and skin temperature over time, offering early alerts to users. The feature, planned for rollout in September 2026, aims to help users monitor risks related to diabetes and metabolic conditions, particularly relevant in India’s high diabetes prevalence. It complements other health monitoring tools like blood pressure tracking but does not replace glucose monitors.
