Summary
Google Health 5.09 is rolling out on Android and iOS, enabling Pixel Watch 3, 4 and 5 users to set up blood pressure, insulin resistance and sleep-breathing tracking in the app.
October is the first checkpoint for Health Guardian summaries, while eligibility starts earlier: blood pressure trends require 5 consecutive September wear days, and insulin resistance trends require 7 days and nights of wear.
Third-party workouts can now count toward Cardio Load if synced into Google Health with heart-rate data, extending support to sessions tracked on devices such as Garmin and Apple Watch.
The update also streamlines custom food entry, fixes iOS custom-food bugs, adds more activity logging options and restores some missing historical step streaks.
The release follows Google's rollout this week of Health Guardian features promised at its 2026 Made by Google event, after they missed the initial Pixel Watch 5 launch.
