What happened
Google Research introduces an investigational framework that uses wearable data to estimate a coachable health age and simulate personalized 12-week health trajectories. Its Sensor World Model was trained on 2.28 million person-weeks of data from roughly 100,000 consenting Fitbit users; in a blinded study, lifestyle coaches preferred counterfactual-grounded plans in 71.4% of evaluations. The post says the models were evaluated offline using retrospective cohorts and are research prototypes, not clinical diagnostic tools.
