Abbott and Google Health Partner to Integrate Lingo Glucose Insights with AI-Powered Personalized Health Guidance – Abbott

Abbott announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Google Health to redefine how people understand and manage their health. By combining glucose insights from Abbott’s Lingo biowearable with Google’s expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and consumer technology, the multi-year collaboration makes personalized metabolic insights more actionable, helping people take a more proactive approach to their health.

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.

“The biggest challenge in healthcare isn’t treating disease—it’s helping people stay healthier longer. Abbott’s leadership in biowearables and Google’s expertise in AI and consumer technology create a powerful opportunity to make personalized insights available at unprecedented scale. Additionally, we are advancing metabolic health research through one of the largest real-world studies of its kind, generating new insights into the relationship between glucose and everyday behaviors. That research will help shape future AI-powered guidance and metabolic health innovation. Together, we can help people better understand their bodies and take action before health challenges become health conditions.” – Olivier Ropars, divisional vice president of Abbott’s Lingo business.

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.

“The future of health lies in turning complex health information into personalized guidance that people can use every day. Abbott and Google are creating a more complete picture of health that can help people better understand the connections between their daily habits and overall well-being. We have an opportunity to provide powerful, personalized health insights that can help people live longer, healthier lives.” – Rishi Chandra, vice president and general manager of Google Health.

Lingo health integrations will continue to roll out in the Google Health app later this year. To learn more about Lingo and be among the first to hear about new features and updates, sign up at hellolingo.com.
