All the health information we get from our portable devices can be pleasant to have or, worse, confusing. He rarely feels exploitable. However, several major updates to come in the Samsung Galaxy Watch range could change the way we consider all these health intelligences focused on sensors, make advice useful and, above all, personal.
When I spoke for the last time to Dr. Hon Pak de Samsung, he told me that Samsung was working on an “objectives based on objectives” with regard to Samsung Health, that Dr. Pak, a formed dermatologist, directs.
Now, it seems that Samsung is reaching this goal with a collection of updates that have an impact, training, sleep, toxins, etc.
Sleep better
Your Galaxy Watch and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, for example, already help you keep track of things like sleep and even how ready you are ready for the day with an “energy score”, which relates mainly to the quality of sleep and your preparation for your day. However, a new guidance feature at bedtime will help you develop a better sleep experience. patterns “.
The framework examines circadian rhythms and the accumulation of sleep debt (do not sleep enough during a series of days, which tends to develop a deficit). The system learns over three days and nights, then presents a score, but more importantly, gives you recommendations for bedtime. Thus, instead of a sunset that is defined once and forgot, the system analyzes you and your sleep needs and provides variable bed hours.
Racing trainer
The second most personalized health and fitness update is the coach. Like bedtime advice, he uses a training activity to find out more about your current skills and needs – in this case, using a 12 -minute race (or a walk, whatever, you can do). You start by saying the functionality of your racing goals, for example, a 5K in two months or a marathon before the end of the year.
“We want to give them a training program specially designed for them,” said Dr. Pak, “because what we see is that people push themselves too much and injure themselves or that they underestimate and never reach the goals.”
Samsung works with sports medicine experts in various universities to obtain advice on the training to be provided according to the 12-minute results, which produce a score between 0 (non-couriers) and 10 (marathon runners), and the lens.
“It’s not only,” hey, go to these programs. “It is, as you do these programs, we actively guide you and say that you have to push yourself a little further, or you have to take a step back,” said Dr. Pak.
Heart health
Although the vascular load does not provide as much personal advice, it can provide, after three nights of detection, a reference base on your cardiovascular and heart health. It also follows trends as to whether stress in your cardiovascular system rises or decreases. Since he was monitoring continuously during sleep, you get the basic line and the long-term trends on which you may be able to act.
Finally, and as rumors have suggested, Samsung Galaxy Watch will add a sensor to look at your antioxidant index, an approximation of beneficial antioxidant levels in your diet. The LED sensor measures carotenoids, which is a form of beta-carotene: a powerful antioxidant. From this measure, you get a number of 1 to 100.
“Using LED lights, we are able to test the adequacy of beta-keratin and, as a substitute, antioxidants, in your system,” said Dr. Pak.
Instead of building a new sensor, Samsung took the bioactive sensor it added to its Galaxy watch last year and now takes advantage of additional LED sensors (in particular certain wavelengths). This means that antioxidant measures will continue with Galaxy Watch models from last year and this year.
Samsung have allowed me to quickly test the new antioxidant index finger by placing my finger at the back of a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. It only took a few seconds to my score, 52, to appear on the ultra twin samxy Samxy S25. From what I have been told, it is an average note, so I feel pretty good in my antioxidant level.
Get the score
It has been a year since Samsung has launched its energy score and the Ring Galaxy, and I was curious to know what they had learned so far.
Dr. Pak told me that since the introduction of Energy Scores, weekly users of Samsung Health have increased considerably. “I think people are very motivated and encouraged to come and see their energy score; there is something, when they get up, not only how do they sleep, but what should they do? This is the only new feature that awaits impatiently and helps you plan that day.”
As for how the Galaxy ring was adopted, Dr. Pak told me people like the form factor, “and the simplicity of not having a screen, and to wear it and forget it because of the long life of the battery”. He added that predominant use cases so far were for sleep and women’s health (cycle followed).
We also talked about portable factors and if there is a space between the galaxy ring without screen and the ultra Watchy Watchy of the Galaxy Beefy. Dr. Pak reminded me of the Galaxy Fit 3 group with a low profile, but added: “Clearly, I agree that there is something, that the need is still there, that these two are not.” Then he added: “So you will see the last watches which are very comfortable. You will be surprised.”
