Powered by Gemini and designed around simplicity, the new Fitbit Air could be a compelling fitness tracker alternative to Whoop. Five years after acquiring Fitbit, and three years since it released the Charge 6, Google is finally expanding into a new phase of fitness tracking . With its screen-free design, the new Fitbit Air could be the first device to threaten Whoop's grip on this category, thanks in large part to Google's intuitive, user-friendly software. The Fitbit Air is Google's most minimalist wearable yet. There's no AMOLED display, no haptic side button, and none of the visual feedback loops that have defined Fitbit devices (and most fitness trackers) for years.

Signos is the first FDA-cleared, AI-enabled system that uses CGMs to nudge you towards healthier behaviors. According to the American Diabetes Association, around 7 million people in the United States are undiagnosed, with 1 in 3 Americans at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. If you do not go on medication, you can manage the condition--a chronic metabolic disease that's characterized by elevated blood sugar levels--by exercising and watching what you eat (very, very closely). In the past few years, the tools that diabetics use to help manage their condition have become more widely available. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like the Abbott Lingo and the Dexcom Stelo used to be available only by prescription.

Whoop's subscription plans are discounted, and accessories are up to 70 percent off. In the world of fitness trackers, Whoop has a unique business model. Rather than upgrading your wearable every few years, Whoop offers its screenless wristband for free with a monthly subscription that allows you to get the latest software updates as they arrive. This model did not work so well for a few years when Whoop released very few updates of any kind, software-or hardware-related.

A few months ago, Google debuted a feature in Google Photos that lets you convert your existing photos into short videos using generative AI. These videos introduce slight synthetic movements to your stills, so a person may appear to slightly shift around in the frame, or a picture of your sleeping pup could gain a leg twitch. This week, the company upgraded this feature with its Veo 3 video generation model, which boosts the quality of the results. To play around with it, head to any photo in Google Photos, tap the three-dot button at the top right, and tap Create. Choose the Photo to Video option, and then pick between Subtle Movement or I'm Feeling Lucky, which will be a little more creative.

Murdoch Children's Institute clinical science research director Dr. Vicki Anderson explains how the app will help parents and coaches rapidly assess injuries and determine how to treat them on'Varney & Co.' Falls are the number one cause of injury among adults 65 and older. But the truth is, your risk doesn't suddenly appear the day you turn 65. It increases gradually over time, especially if you're dealing with weak muscles, balance issues, side effects from medication, or even just forgetting a pill. Experts recommend that everyone get screened for fall risk at age 65. But you don't have to wait for a doctor's visit to take action.

The season of holiday gift buying is upon us, and it can be hard to resist the coolest new tech gadgets. But not all items are created equal when it comes to privacy, experts say.

She urges people to think through the privacy implications of gifts they're giving to friends and family. "Think about what information is going to be collected," she said.
