Xiaomi is one of the leading brands in the smart wearables and fitness trackers market, thanks to its popular Mi Band series devices. The company also has an app named “Mi Fit” that rounds up data for all of its wearables and fitness-related products.

However, the company is now working on a new far-reaching application named Mi Health. The app was spotted in a new beta build of the MIUI and seems to be sharing many features of the Mi Fit app.

The Mi Health application was found on the 9.7.23 China Developer Build of MIUI. From the images shared online, it seems that using this app, users will be able to track their steps as well as sleep rate, that too in the background.

The app also comes with features like a menstruation cycle calendar, a tracker of exercise goals and BMI (Body Mass Index) and Health Scores. If you want to use this app now, you’ll have to download the apk file and sideload it but you must be either on the Xiaomi beta program or have a completely rooted smartphone.

While the Mi Health app seems to be coming soon, it is not yet clear if the China-based company is planning to replace the existing Mi Fit application or both the apps will co-exist and offer users choice between wider functionality and smaller footprint.
