Function Health Lets Members Share Lab Results With Google Health App

The companies announced the partnership on October 12, 2026. According to the press release, the feature arrives later this fall. It links Function's lab results with wearable readings such as resting heart rate, sleep patterns, heart rate variability (HRV) and cardio load. The release names the Google Fitbit Air, the Pixel Watch 5 and the new Google Fitbit Edge.

The lab side comes from Function's membership. According to the company, members get access to more than 160 lab tests, including testing twice a year, for $365 a year. MRIs and CTs are available at extra cost. The release highlights markers such as ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), fasting insulin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). It says these add context that wearables cannot measure.

Google Health Coach, an AI product, will be able to use the lab results and personal health record context to tailor its wellness guidance. Function says this can help people spot changes earlier and prepare for conversations with clinicians. The release also carries cautions. It says AI answers may be inaccurate or incomplete. It says Google Health is not intended to use personal health records to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent or monitor any disease. It adds that records stored with Google may not be comprehensive or accurate. The release also advises consulting a healthcare professional before making changes concerning your health, and readers should not act on AI-generated or lab-driven guidance without their clinician.

Those disclaimers matter for the strategy. The release does not say how the arrangement would be treated by regulators. That question is open, and the source does not address it.

The competitive logic is easier to see. A blood panel is a snapshot taken a few times a year. A wearable gives a daily stream. Putting both in one app gives users a reason to stay inside that app. For Function, a Google tie-up adds distribution through a large consumer health platform. For Google, it adds clinical-style data that its devices do not produce. This is our reading of the deal, not a claim made in the release.

The move may also bear on Function's position against rivals, though the release names none and does not say whether Google has similar arrangements with other testing companies. Function's other recent announcements, listed on the same page, include a connection to Meta's Muse AI agent. That suggests Function is seeking links with several large technology platforms, though the page gives few details.

Several details are missing. Function says it serves "millions" of people but gives no member count. The release gives no pricing for the Google integration, no data on how many Google users will see it, and no evidence that combining the two data sets improves health outcomes. That is the weakest point of the pitch. Its stated goal is 100 healthy years for 8 billion people. CEO Jonathan Swerdlin said, "Everyone deserves to own their health."

What to watch next

The fall launch itself, including whether rival testing companies announce similar links to Google or other platforms, and how the Google Health Coach handles lab results in practice.
