Google Coach is not just a tracker for exercise, it is intended to give any advice necessary for living a healthy life, to propose it as appropriate using AI technology. Inside Google, it has been developed as "Project Wooden".

For example, when you arrive at the gym, you can decide a training menu that matches the physical condition of the day, if the schedule changes and the exercise routine collapses, you can create a new alternative training program and propose it. By linking with Google Calendar, it is possible to create a program that takes into account the availability of the schedule. Also, if you grasp the eating out from the location information, you can suggest a healthy diet menu from nutritional value and calorie, even if you cook yourself you can create a shopping list of recipes and ingredients for a week and suggest it And that.

In Google Coach, which plays a role like a personal trainer, if you give a notice every time, you may get "covered by the notification" and the user experience may decline. Therefore, Google Coach says that the timing and quantity of the proposal is optimized. For example, interaction in a conversation form presumed to be a response rather than a one-sided notice is adopted, and three contents such as "walking as usual", "drinking water", "taking medicine" are summarized It seems that consideration such as making it by one notification as an advice is done.

It is assumed that Google Coach will be provided for the Wear OS for watch-type wearable devices, but in the future it will be available on all Google platforms, including Android for smartphones and Android TV for TV, Google Home for smart speakers We are also looking into the use of. The future that you can always receive advice useful for health from Google Coach no matter where you are will be coming.
