Samsung Health app gets an AI upgrade ahead of the rumored Galaxy Watch 9 launch

before Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 launch This is rumored to happen this summer, as Samsung has announced new feature updates to the Samsung Health app, which will begin rolling out on June 8.

The Samsung Health app will have new biometric capabilities that use artificial intelligence to make complex biometric data easier to understand and provide guidance on how to use this information.

“Samsung Health is evolving to connect health data measured by the Galaxy Watch with AI-based insights, allowing users to understand their physical and mental health more easily and intuitively,” said Hun Bak, Senior Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team for Mobile Experience Business at Samsung Electronics. He said in a statement.

Top new features in the Samsung Health app include Vitals, Heart Health Score, Daily Heart Load, and Fitness Index:

• Vital elements: This feature will give you a daily energy score based on your heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen. This data will be analyzed against your true resting baseline. If there are significant changes in any of these biometrics, the Galaxy Watch will send a notification and help you determine if you may need more rest or if these are signs of illness.
• Heart health points: The Samsung Watch can actually read vascular load (sleep, stress, and activities). The new Heart Health Score builds on this and combines vascular load information with body composition data to share a score that tells you how your habits affect your heart health in the long term.
• Daily cardio load: This feature helps you know how hard you should push when doing cardio exercises and measures the stress built up on your heart and blood vessels. It uses this information to recommend ideal training goals and rest times to avoid fatigue and injury.
• Fitness index: Fitness Index compares your heart rate, VO2 Max (the maximum amount of oxygen your body uses during aerobic activity), and daily steps with other Samsung Health users. Data helps identify your strengths and weaknesses and then customize solutions to help you improve.

Additionally, you’ll notice that the app layout will look different, as Samsung has organized these ideas into five categories: Sleep, Nutrition, Activity, Mindfulness, and Vitals. The new look aims to make their data easier to view and access.

More customization will also be available within these categories, and nutrition will take center stage as the Antioxidant Index feature will know how your food choices throughout the day are affecting you physically.

Additionally, the Age Index takes the data it collects nightly and generates a long-term picture of how your lifestyle choices affect your body.

You can also expect a hearing feature that picks up ambient noise with the Galaxy Watch and recommends ways to protect your hearing based on those analyses.
