TL;DR Fitbit is developing an experimental, generative AI feature called “Plan for Care.”

The feature could seemingly analyze symptoms to suggest possible conditions and urgency, and create a prep sheet for doctor visits.

The feature could be restricted to legal adults in the US whenever it initially rolls out.

Update: Fitbit has officially announced the feature.

Update, November 21, 2025 (05:45 AM ET): Fitbit has officially announced the Plan for Care lab feature. As we predicted, Plan for Care helps get personalized support when assessing symptoms at home and preparing for an upcoming doctor’s visit.

A select number of users can opt in to explore Fitbit’s latest experimental capabilities and provide feedback. Original article, November 20, 2025 (08:04 AM ET): If you’ve ever felt anxious about a doctor’s visit, you’re not alone. Many of us feel the same: We’re either too nervous to recount all our symptoms and miss details, or don’t know enough to ask the right questions after a diagnosis. Google appears to have identified this as a problem area to tackle, as Fitbit may be working on a new experimental feature that could help prepare you for your doctor’s visit.

Fitbit v4.57 includes code for a new Fitbit Labs feature, internally referred to as “Plan for Care,” “Care Advocate,” or “Pre-visit Lab.” From what we could gather from the strings, this is an experimental, research-based feature designed to act as a bridge between a patient’s symptoms and their next doctor’s visit.
