Google and Flo plan menstrual health data sharing and future wellness devices

Google has partnered with Flo Health, which makes a menstrual cycle tracking app, to connect its data with Google Health.

Starting early next year, Flo users can choose to sync their cycle information with Google’s app.

Permission will be optional and granted separately for each type of data and purpose, and users can withdraw it.

Google says Flo data will not be used for advertising or sold or shared with other apps or developers.

People who subscribe to Google Health Premium will also be able to use Flo data with Google Health Coach for more personalized guidance.

The companies plan to develop future wellness devices that combine Flo’s menstrual health insights with Google’s wearable hardware and sensors.

They also plan to support research into areas of menstrual health that have received less attention.
