Antioxidants play a key role in this process, helping neutralize free radicals and protect the body from oxidative stress. The Galaxy Watch8 series debuts Antioxidant Index — the first smartwatch feature to measure the body’s antioxidant status and support more effective health monitoring.

Samsung Newsroom spoke with Hyojee Joung — President of the Korean Nutrition Society and professor at Seoul National University (SNU), who participated in developing and validating the new feature — about this breakthrough and the importance of antioxidant care.

Why Antioxidant Care Matters

“Why do I feel tired so easily?”

Free radicals are natural byproducts of energy production in the body, but unhealthy habits can cause them to build up. “Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, poor diet, UV exposure and stress drive overproduction — triggering oxidative stress and accelerating aging,” said Joung.

Persistent exhaustion may signal excess free radicals in the body. “They can weaken immunity, cause fatigue and speed up visible signs of aging such as wrinkles or pigmentation,” Joung explained. “As oxidative stress accumulates, the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and certain cancers increases — making antioxidant management essential.”

▲ Excessive free radicals from an unhealthy lifestyle can raise the risk of chronic disease.

“Antioxidant capacity isn’t a matter of youth or fitness — it requires consistent care throughout life,” Joung emphasized, noting that daily fruit and vegetable intake is the easiest and most effective place to start.

Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants such as carotenoids and vitamins C and E. Because the body’s natural production of antioxidant enzymes declines with age, sufficient dietary antioxidant intake provides the foundation for sustainable health.

However, for most people, it’s not easy to objectively assess whether their everyday diet is truly balanced. The Galaxy Watch8 series’ Antioxidant Index was developed to address this challenge.

Tracking Antioxidant Levels With Galaxy Watch8 Series

“Is my diet healthy enough?”

For anyone wondering how healthy their diet is, Samsung Health now offers a quick answer. Using rear sensors, the Galaxy Watch8 series measures an Antioxidant Index — based on carotenoid levels in the skin — to assess fruit and vegetable intake within seconds.

“Carotenoids are the red, yellow and green pigments in fruits and vegetables,” said Joung. “Because the human body cannot produce them, carotenoid levels reflect dietary intake.”

The Galaxy Watch8 series uses a reflection spectroscopy sensor. When light of a specific wavelength shines on the skin, carotenoids absorb some and reflect the rest. By analyzing the reflected light, the device estimates carotenoid levels.

Previously, measuring antioxidant levels required blood samples and complex laboratory procedures. Now, users can simply place a thumb on the back sensor for five seconds to see instant results. Based on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) daily recommendation of 400 grams of fruits and vegetables, results appear as:

• Very low – Less than 50% of the recommended intake
• Low – 50% to less than 100% of the recommended intake
• Adequate – 100% or more of the recommended intake

Joung explained that although Antioxidant Index does not represent the body’s full antioxidant capacity, it serves as a practical and meaningful indicator of daily antioxidant status by reflecting carotenoid intake from fruits and vegetables — major sources that help strengthen the body’s antioxidant system.

Antioxidant Index: A Reliable and Validated Health Indicator

“How should I respond to my Antioxidant Index reading?”

The Galaxy Watch8 series is the first smartwatch to measure antioxidant levels — a breakthrough built on years of research. Samsung began collaborating with Joung and her team in 2018 to explore how this capability could be applied to wearables.

A dietary intervention study conducted by the Graduate School of Public Health at SNU confirmed that skin carotenoid levels reliably indicate fruit and vegetable intake. “Over six weeks, we provided meals with varying carotenoid content to 80 participants and observed their skin carotenoid levels increased within one to two weeks,” Joung said.

When users measure their Antioxidant Index, the Samsung Health app provides feedback such as “Have one more tomato today” or “Try 50 grams of pumpkin.” These recommendations are based on proposals from Joung’s team. “It’s important to give dietary guidance in language users can easily understand,” she explained. “We created the foundational data that trained an algorithm to adapt suggestions to individual preferences.”

The research team plans to keep refining the feature to deliver more accurate insights and support more effective antioxidant management.

Tips for Using Antioxidant Index

 Joung shared four tips for making the most of the Galaxy Watch8 series’ Antioxidant Index.

① Consistency is key — don’t worry about daily fluctuations.

② Measure at the same time, with the same finger.

③ Check results alongside other Samsung Health indicators.

④ Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Small Steps, Big Changes

 “Whenever I meet someone, I have them try Antioxidant Index. It’s fun to see their surprise at how quickly the results appear,” said Joung, an active Galaxy Watch8 Classic user. “Being able to check instantly is a huge advantage.”

“Many people try to manage antioxidants for disease prevention and healthy aging, but there hasn’t been a clear way to track progress,” she continued. “Antioxidant Index not only shows whether fruit and vegetable intake is sufficient but also raises awareness of the importance of antioxidants — and that alone is meaningful.”

“What matters is consistency, not perfection. Even small steps, like adding one serving of fruits or vegetables to your meal, can create meaningful change over time,” Joung emphasized. “I’m truly happy to see such an innovative feature come to life before my retirement.”

Antioxidant Index delivers results in just five seconds — a simple step toward better health. In the second part of this series, Samsung Newsroom will hear from one of the Galaxy Watch8 series’ developers who helped make this groundbreaking feature possible.

Samsung’s Antioxidant Index on Galaxy Watch8 transforms what once seemed like science fiction into everyday technology. In five seconds, a thumb scan returns precise carotenoid levels – the industry’s first measurable nutrition index.

By miniaturizing lab-grade sensor technology with exceptional accuracy, it turns your diet into an actionable metric for healthier aging. Establishing this new benchmark in wearable health tracking required years of intensive R&D, countless prototypes and unwavering grit.

Breaking New Ground in Nutrition Tracking

Back in 2018, Samsung saw a critical gap in wearables: we could count every step and calorie, yet there was no simple way to measure how our diet impacted our health. Deeper nutritional insights were locked behind expensive and time-consuming lab tests, out of reach for many people.

As people live longer, the focus is shifting from simply increasing lifespan to improving the quality of those additional years.

“In this context, antioxidation naturally gains attention as a method to slow down aging,” explains Dr. Hyojee Joung, a Seoul National University[1] public health nutrition expert who guided parts of the tech’s development. “If antioxidant management is neglected, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulate in the body, increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.”

This realization made antioxidants the cornerstone of Samsung’s mission. Engineers and scientists focused on carotenoids – key antioxidants and proven indicators of fruit and vegetable intake – to create a device small enough to sit on your wrist, yet powerful enough to turn complex antioxidant data into simple, actionable health insights for everyone.

Challenge #1: How to Shrink the Lab-Grade Sensor Technology

From day one, the dream of a nutrition-tracking wearable hit an immediate snag: traditional methods for measuring carotenoid levels like Raman spectroscopy are laser-based, non-invasive and precise, but rely on bulky machines that are far from wearable. So the team’s first mission was to shrink the lab-grade tech into a coin-sized sensor.

After seven years of rigorous testing and optimizing since the first prototype, the team developed the miniaturized sensor, a groundbreaking tech that combines multi-wavelength LEDs with a custom photodetector array to provide accurate carotenoid readings in a compact design.

“Our breakthrough was integrating reflectance spectroscopy with LEDs, which allowed us to miniaturize the technology while maintaining a high level of accuracy,” explains Jinyoung Park, a developer from Digital Health team at Samsung Electronics.

Unlike lasers, which emit a sharp, narrow wavelength, LEDs emit a broader wavelength range. By analyzing how much light is absorbed by the skin at multiple wavelengths through photodiodes,[2] the watch estimates carotenoid levels with impressive accuracy. The advanced algorithms that continuously calibrate in real-time also support precision while delivering personalized insights to each user.

Challenge #2: How to Ensure the Tech Reaches Everyone

Creating a coin-sized carotenoid sensor was a major milestone, but the next challenge was ensuring it could work accurately and reliably across diverse skin types, making it truly accessible to everyone.

To overcome challenges like melanin interference in darker skin tones, Samsung’s engineers opted to use the fingertip for measurements since it has the least melanin across all ethnic groups. They also added simple tweaks, like light fingertip pressure during scans, which helps temporarily reduce blood flow and hemoglobin interference, making the results more accurate.

Extensive trials conducted at Samsung Medical Center[3] included hundreds of participants, validating the sensor’s performance. This paved the way for a feature that seamlessly transitioned from the lab to users worldwide, offering an inclusive solution designed for everyday life.

How It Works

Carotenoids are the natural red, yellow and green pigments found in fruits and vegetables. Since our bodies can’t produce carotenoids on their own, the levels stored in the body offer a clear snapshot of how much fruit and vegetables someone has been eating.

This is where your Antioxidant Index score comes in, reflecting your carotenoid levels based on these categories:

• Very low: Less than 50% of the daily WHO recommendation of 400g per day.
• Low: Between 50%–100%.
• Optimal: 100% or more.

“Skin carotenoids metabolize and accumulate in tissues gradually, so short-term changes in fruit and vegetable intake won’t immediately appear in the score,” explains Dr. Hyojee Joung. “Our research shows that increased carotenoid intake leads to a meaningful rise in skin carotenoid levels after about one to two weeks, making the Index a valuable tool for tracking consistent, long-term dietary habits.”

Lifestyle factors like sleep quality, stress levels, and physical activity also influence the Index, making it a well-rounded indicator of overall health. Paired with other Galaxy Watch8 features like sleep coaching, activity tracking and Vascular Load monitoring, the Antioxidant Index offers a holistic view of your well-being, empowering smarter decisions for healthier aging.

The Antioxidant Index feature measures carotenoid levels in seconds with the sensor on the back of the Galaxy Watch8 and provides additional nutritional insights on paired Galaxy smartphones.

Your Health, Reimagined

“New wearable sensors can play a role in helping people build healthy eating habits by tracking and encouraging sufficient daily intake of fruits and vegetables,” says Professor Yoonho Choi from Samsung Medical Center. “Over time, this simple practice can help prevent some cancers and other age-related diseases, making it a very effective way to support long-term health.”

Antioxidants are an emerging area of focus, but research has been limited due to the challenges of accurate measurement. Galaxy Watch8’s Antioxidant Index goes beyond current industry developments and delivers meaningful innovation.

By helping users identify risks early and take proactive steps towards better health, Samsung is paving the way for a smarter, more proactive approach to wellness and redefining the role of wearables in preventative healthcare.

What’s New:

New features[1] include Bedtime Guidance[2] to optimize sleep; Vascular Load[3] to measure stress on the vascular system during sleep; Running Coach[4] to support personalized training strategies; and Antioxidant Index[5] to measure carotenoid levels for healthy aging. These features — part of One UI 8 Watch on the latest Galaxy Watch series — will be available to a limited number of users through a beta program.[6]

Why it Matters:

The goal of these new features is to help build healthier daily habits — which can be challenging as they don’t develop overnight. It takes time to form lasting behavior patterns, and meaningful change often becomes visible only after sustained effort. But the rewards are worth it.

For example, while eating unhealthy food may not have an immediate impact, it can lead to significant health consequences over time. Conversely, healthy habits may not produce instant results, but they often contribute to long-term physical and mental well-being.

“Sleep remains a cornerstone of our approach to health as it influences physical and mental well-being, social relationships and even work performance,” said Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Now, we envision the Galaxy Watch delivering holistic insights centered around sleep — insights that lead to meaningful changes in daily life. We believe this aligns with our vision of empowering people to lead healthier lives through proactive care and holistic health management.”

New Features

Samsung Health’s new features are designed to help users build healthy habits by providing instant feedback as a motivating tool.

Bedtime Guidance

A single night of restful sleep offers immediate health benefits, encouraging proactive behavioral changes that contribute to a healthier tomorrow. This begins with setting and maintaining a consistent, optimal bedtime.

• Samsung continually advances its sleep-related features, including sleep pattern analysis, sleep coaching, tools for optimizing sleep environments and a feature that detects signs of sleep apnea[7] — a common sleep disorder.
• Now, Samsung is introducing additional tools for better sleep, such as recommending an optimal bedtime based on individual lifestyle and sleep patterns along with reminders to help users stay consistent.
• By analyzing sleep data from the past three days, the feature evaluates both sleep pressure and circadian rhythm to suggest a bedtime that maximizes alertness the next day.
• This feature is especially helpful for those recovering from periods of irregular sleep. If users go to bed later than planned for several days or follow inconsistent schedules between weekdays and weekends, Bedtime Guidance will consider these factors to help ensure sufficient rest.

Vascular Load

Sleep is a window into overall health, influencing holistic well-being. The Galaxy Watch series leverages this opportunity to measure vascular load — the amount of stress on the vascular system during sleep.

• The vascular system carries blood throughout the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing waste, making it a key indicator of heart health.
• During sleep, stress on the vascular system should naturally decrease. However, excessive fluctuations may negatively impact cardiovascular health.
• By wearing the Galaxy Watch during sleep, users can receive insights into vascular load and the stress placed on their vascular system.
• Because health factors are interconnected, Vascular Load also provides insight into lifestyle components such as sleep, exercise and stress — helping users maintain a healthier routine and build positive habits.

Running Coach

While sleep is a vital time to restore and support overall health, managing well-being during active moments is equally important. Running is one of the most accessible fitness activities, and Samsung has long supported runners by offering features that promote consistent training and help users reach their fitness goals.

• Many runners experience injuries due to over-pacing or undertraining. Running Coach is designed to help users train safely for marathons through optimized intensity and injury-preventive routines, making it ideal for beginners.
• The feature offers motivation and real-time guidance, creating a personalized training program based on the runner’s fitness level.
• By wearing the Galaxy Watch and running for 12 minutes, users receive a performance analysis and a running level score from 1 to 10. Based on this data, a detailed training plan is generated to support completion of a 5K, 10K, half marathon or full marathon. As users complete sessions, they level up and unlock their next running challenge.

Antioxidant Index

A holistic approach to health naturally includes a focus on aging and healthy aging. However, behavioral factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking, UV exposure, stress and lack of sleep can accelerate aging by increasing free radicals in the body that damage cells. Antioxidants, compounds found in many healthy foods, neutralize these free radicals to help prevent chronic illness and support healthy aging.

• The Galaxy Watch can measure carotenoids — antioxidants found in green and orange fruits and vegetables — that are stored in the skin.
• Antioxidant Index uses an industry-first feature to assess carotenoid levels in just five seconds via an advanced, light-activated BioActive Sensor.
• These insights can reflect behavioral changes. For example, drinking carrot juice may result in a measurable change in the index, offering motivation to adopt healthier habits.

Great health comes from the combination of many small changes — and with Galaxy Watch, it’s now more achievable than ever.

Across Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO), sleep is emerging as a critical—yet often overlooked—pillar of health and well-being frequently sacrificed in favor of the demands of modern lifestyles today.

Casting a lens on this reality, the Samsung SEAO Ecosystem Health Study[1] sought to analyze the general lifestyle and sentiments towards health and fitness, as well as general wellness habits—including sleep, fitness, and lifestyle choices. While adults in Southeast Asia and Oceania rank health as their third highest daily priority, trailing finances and family according to the study, many still struggle to achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep[2].  An average person in SEAO sleeps for just 6 hours and 51 minutes every night and stand to miss out on benefits that they rank as important reasons to getting sufficient shut-eye – such as improved immunity (21%), maintaining good health (17%), and staying mentally agile (16%)[3].

Want to sleep better and feel these benefits? Here are three practical steps to address common sleep concerns using Galaxy devices like the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring.

Step 1: Establish a consistent bedtime routine

Galaxy Watch8, built to suit diverse lifestyles with advanced capabilities—setting a new standard for style and personalized health experiences.

Establishing a consistent bedtime routine is the primary concern for consumers in Southeast Asia and Oceania (28%) citing an “inability to switch off” as a further obstacle to a good night’s rest[4].

We all know that going device-free is easier said than done, with many relying on smartphones as their alarm. Enter the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring, super comfortable sleep companions that even allow you to dismiss alarms by just pinching your fingers!

Beyond putting aside one’s smartphone for the evening, winding down also includes setting up a peaceful environment that is conducive for sleep. Custom routines on the SmartThings app cue your connected devices automatically, turning off your lights and TV at bedtime for instance.

(Left) A sleep environment summary card displayed in Galaxy Now Briefing; (Right) a detailed sleep environment report

Personalizing your sleeping conditions doesn’t stop there. Sleep environment reports[5] from Samsung Health app provide detailed insights into key factors — such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and illuminance — through connected devices and sensors. When connected to your Galaxy devices, other appliances like Samsung air conditioners come together to ensure you have a pleasant sleep through adjusting the temperature with “Good Sleep” mode[6] that finds the optimal temperature at each sleep stage[7] for a top-notch sleeping environment that adjusts to your every need.

Bedtime Guidance provides personalized recommendations based on the user’s sleep data from the past three days.

Adding another layer of support, Galaxy Watch8’s Bedtime Guidance^[8] analyzes sleep patterns and recommends, then suggests an optimal bedtime based on your sleep pressure and circadian rhythm, so you can reset your sleep schedule and wake up refreshed. Galaxy Ring complements this with a powerful sleep AI algorithm and detailed sleep tracking to monitor movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart and respiratory rate, and snoring—making it easy to build better sleep habits over time.

Step 2: Maintain your energy throughout the day

Energy Score on the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy S25 Ultra

The next most concerning aspect of sleep in SEAO is whether one can maintain one’s energy levels throughout the day (18%)[9]. We are all familiar with the feeling of having apparently slept well the night before yet but still experiencing fatigue during the day, with the duration of sleep not translating into the desired energy levels across work, study or play. When you pick up your smartphone in the morning or simply check your Galaxy Watch throughout the day, a glimpse of your Energy Score[10] tells you all you need to know.

Energy Score, an indicator of your condition based on 7 key sleep and activity metrics

Energy Score provides a daily measurement of your physical and mental energy and readiness, based on sleep, activity, and heart rate data, to help you find a healthy balance in the day ahead. Measuring from 0 to 100, a low score guides you to take things easy, while a high score gives you the confidence to push your limits.

Step 3: Sustain long-term benefits of sleep

After proactively harnessing the short-term benefits of a good night’s sleep, such as better energy throughout the day, the next biggest concern is one’s long-term health and how it might be affected by a lack of sleep (13%)[11].

That’s why the Galaxy Watch8 series goes beyond sleep tracking with features like the Antioxidant Index[12], a first-of-its-kind smartwatch capability that measures your carotenoid level in just five seconds. This helps you understand how your lifestyle and sleep habits contribute to healthy aging, giving you another layer of insight to build a long-term wellness routine.

As you take the steps to make adjustments to your sleep, Galaxy’s Sleep Coaching Program tracks your progress, analyzes your accumulated sleep pattern data and provides you insights like a dedicated personal trainer with suggestions for better sleep such as meditating before bed, for example.

To get clued into how to sustain the long-term benefits of your sleep, Galaxy Ring is your go-to wearable that sits comfortably on your finger whilst tracking overall sleep including sleep stages, sleep patterns, movement during sleep, overnight skin temperature, Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variance (HRV) and providing Sleep Coaching program to improve your sleep habits, when you wake up[13]. First time users get to test their ideal ring size with the Galaxy Ring sizing kit before confirming their purchase[14].

Whether you’re a student, parent, or working professional, the need for restorative rest is both universal and profoundly personal. Try out these three steps today and make the change to your everyday sleep for better productivity, energy and overall well-being!

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is your ideal workout companion, designed to help you tap into your inner athlete.

Have you ever watched your favorite sports legends in action and thought, “If only I had their drive?” Guess what? You already have that drive within you all along; all you need are the right tools to help you unlock it. This is where the all-new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7[1] come in. The latest additions to Samsung’s wearables lineup are not just smartwatches. Powered by Wear OS 5 and Galaxy AI[2], they are your personal coach, your cheerleader, and your all-around wellness guru ready to dispense personalized insights and tailored health experiences through the Samsung Health app. They are designed to tap into your inner champion and help you make every single day count towards smashing your health and wellness goals.

Here are four ways that the new Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7, designed to provide end-to-end wellness experiences[3], help take you to the next level on your wellness journey.

1. Sleep like a pro, perform like a champion.

Galaxy Watch7 is designed to help you gain a more holistic understanding of yourself.

Every athlete knows that performance begins with quality sleep, and what better way to start taking your sleep more seriously than with the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7. It’s almost like having your personal sleep scientist on hand tracking your every snooze and snore, with the enhanced BioActive Sensor that offers greater accuracy[4] and keeps tabs on the different sleep stages that you are in, while also tracking everything from sleep duration to heart rate, as well as blood oxygen.

2. Stay on track, every step of the way

Energy Score enhances awareness of the ways your health influences your daily life.

Stay committed to healthy habits during the day with Energy Score[5], a new Galaxy AI-enabled feature which is calculated based on a combined analysis of personal health metrics including sleep time average, sleep time consistency, bed/wake time consistency, sleep timing, previous day activity, sleeping heart rate and heart rate variability, which helps you understand your overall condition. Think of it as your report card, letting you know how you are doing, and where you can improve.

At the same time, both the Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Galaxy Watch7 let you easily keep track of all your body and fitness goals with Body Composition[6], for a more comprehensive body and fitness snapshot. At the same time, you can make more informed decisions about your diet and exercise routine with the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7’s capability to track advanced glycation end products (AGEs) with an AGEs Index[7], which reflect your overall biological aging process.

3. Unleash your inner triathlete

Tracking multi-sport workouts has become easier with the new Multi-sports tile on Galaxy Watch Ultra.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is not just for tracking your health; it is also designed to help you push your limits. You can take on triathlon training with the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s Multi-sports tile, letting you choose from swimming to cycling to running. Galaxy Watch Ultra also can accurately track over 100 different workouts; while letting you build routines that can be revisited later with the Workout Routine feature.

The premium, action-ready Galaxy Watch Ultra is built like a tank, especially designed to help you push your limits and go further in challenging environments with a Titanium Grade 4[8] frame and 10ATM water resistance[9]. Galaxy Watch Ultra also features the longest battery life within the Galaxy Watch lineup, with 100 hours of run-time in Power Saving[10] mode.

4. Stay connected and motivated

FlexWindow offers more Widgets than ever and allows you to check information from multiple Widgets simultaneously.

Staying motivated is key to achieving your goals; and devices like the new additions to the Galaxy Watch lineup are ideal tools to help you do that. In addition, having centralized view of all your health data is possible from the Samsung Health app while connected to your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. You can even check your progress on the go with the useful widgets on the Galaxy Z Flip6’s 3.4-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow[11], for example.

The Journey to a Better You, Starts Now

With the new additions to the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, it is so much easier to make small changes that can have a significant impact, every day, to help unleash your potential over the long run. Are you ready to take the first of many steps towards a healthier, happier you? Take the Galaxy Watch Ultra or the Galaxy Watch7 on the journey towards becoming a better version of yourself.

Samsung Electronics announced the availability of the Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN) feature[1] on the Samsung Health Monitor app[2] in Malaysia from today onwards. Combined with the app’s Blood Pressure[3] and Electrocardiogram (ECG)[4] monitoring, the IHRN feature detects heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib), helping Galaxy Watch users understand their heart health more comprehensively.

Alongside the on-demand ECG tracking, the IHRN feature checks for irregular heart rhythms in the background and warns the user of potential AFib activity. Together with the existing Blood Pressure and Heart Rate[5] monitoring, users can gain even deeper insights into their cardiovascular health.

Since the launch in 2020, the Samsung Health Monitor app has expanded to 74 markets[6] across the globe. Over 15 million Galaxy Watch users have kept track of their blood pressure and ECG right from their wrist, gaining a better picture of their heart health by continuously monitoring and recording their blood pressure and heart rhythms.

“Cardiovascular disease remains one of the main causes of death around the world, and we’re committed to empowering our users to stay informed about their heart health by providing monitoring tools, including blood pressure measurement and irregular heart rhythm notification,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re constantly exploring new ways to help Galaxy Watch users obtain deeper insights on their health and wellness effortlessly, day and night.”

In today’s fast-paced world, prioritising matters of personal well-being is more important than ever. Thanks to advancements in technology such as mobile artificial intelligence (AI), you can now take your wellness journey to the next level with Samsung’s range of connected devices, powered by AI to make everything easier and more seamless.

Driving this suite of health AI experiences are the latest Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, as well as the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7, which open new possibilities for those committed to doing right by their bodies, whether with personalised insights that help them stay on top of their everyday wellness, or by offering coaching that empowers users to perform at their best throughout their fitness journeys.

Seamlessly integrated with Samsung’s extensive range of connected home appliances, here are four ways that users can build a holistic ecosystem that supports an active and healthy lifestyle.

Tip #1: Eat and sleep well

Start your day by understanding your body’s unique needs with the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7. Samsung Health[1] gathers all data and insights unto one cohesive platform with no subscription needed.

New features like the Galaxy AI-powered Energy Score[2], calculated by evaluating your physical and mental conditions across four significant factors – Sleep, Activity, Sleeping Heart Rate and Sleeping Heart Rate Variability – will help you not only better understand the ways your health influences your daily life, but also provides insights based on your current physical state to focus your daily efforts on making improvements. Additionally, with Wellness Tips[3], you can receive personalised messages aimed at enhancing your well-being across all areas of your health journey.

Armed with this information, you can also make more informed decisions about nutrition. Download the Samsung Food app on your Galaxy Z Series smartphone to use in conjunction with the Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+, and create personalised meals based on your health needs with Tailored Meal Plan[4], which analyses users’ information by connecting to their Samsung Health profile[5]. This ensures you are better equipped to fuel your body with nutritious meals and maintain optimal energy levels throughout the day.

Tip #2: Train well

For high performance enthusiasts looking to meet and beat their goals such as participating in a marathon, the Race feature[6] on both the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 lets you compare current and past performance in real-time to track progress and maintain motivation, while Personalized HR Zone[7] on the Galaxy Watch Ultra lets you work out at optimal intensity levels based on your physical capabilities.

As a fitness champion, your goal might even be taking on a triathlon. Lock in that accomplishment with the Galaxy Watch Ultra that also comes with the Multi-sports tile feature that lets you track multi-course workouts such as a triathlon, from swimming to cycling to running. To really unlock your full potential at cycling, the all-new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) accurately measures maximum cycling power in just 4 minutes with AI-powered FTP metrics[8].

During recovery and downtime, stay motivated by immersing yourself in your favorite sporting action on the thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold6 which comes with an even brighter fold-out screen[9].  If you are out and about, catch highlights of the action on the Galaxy Z Fold6 or Galaxy Z Flip6 smartphones while on the go, as you use Circle to Search with Google to discover new athletes to be inspired by.

Tip #3: Move well

Transform your home into a personalised fitness studio with the Workout Routine feature on your Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, which lets you build routines by combining various exercises with Workout Routine to achieve your goals, so your daily routine stays fresh and interesting.

Tip #4: Rest well

Eating well and training hard are important parts of health and wellness, but equally important is being able to get quality sleep, so that your body can rest and recover.

The enhanced BioActive Sensor on Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Galaxy Watch7 offers increased accuracy[10] empowering you to better understand yourself with comprehensive readings. For those who often have problems sleeping, your Galaxy Watch7 also comes with a new advanced sleep AI algorithm for sleep analysis.

Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 also come with Sleep Mode on SmartThings, which dims the screen to avoid disturbing your sleep with light. You can also automate your connected devices using SmartThings for more peaceful nights. For example, with custom routines on SmartThings, effortlessly control your home’s lighting, blinds, thermostat, and even your Samsung WindFree air conditioner, so that the latter’s WindFree technology[11] and 23,000 micro air holes[12] gently and evenly disperse cool air, creating the ideal conditions for restful and restorative sleep.

Not intended for use in the detection, diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition.

[2] Energy Score is intended for general wellness and fitness purposes only. Energy Score is only supported in Galaxy Watch4 series and later released Samsung Galaxy Watch models.

[7] Personalisation of Heart Rate Zone is enabled when selecting an outdoor run activity. It is required to run consistently for more than 10 minutes with speeds of 4km/h or faster.

[8] To measure personalised FTP, a Galaxy smartphone must be connected to a power meter. In order to calculate a more accurate FTP, it is necessary to connect the Galaxy Watch to a smartphone. The FTP is calculated automatically when cycling occurs at a mid to high intensity level for more than 4 minutes with the cycling power meter attached to your bicycle. Using machine learning, the more users ride repeatedly, the more accurate and personalised FTP values will be calculated. The cycling power meter is sold separately. Traditional FTP analysis duration on professional equipment is up to 1 hour on average.

[9] Compared to previous Galaxy Z Fold models. Galaxy Z Fold6 has a peak brightness of 2600 nits on both the Main Screen and Cover Screen.
