Next week, Samsung will share its latest lineup of innovative products designed to enhance users’ everyday lives, including updates that empower fitness and wellness routines. Ahead of the unveiling, we’d like to take the time to reflect on our philosophy, achievements, and progress that we have made as we approach our most recent step in our health journey.

The world has entered a new era of wellness, seeing a growing desire for a more nuanced understanding of overall health. In the past, health was a simple concept with a single definition. Now, everyone defines health and wellness by what it means to them. To accommodate everyone’s health goals, Samsung is committed to ensuring everyone has access to the resources they need, so they can work towards the best version of themselves.

To that end, we are focused on setting new standards for health experiences through our Galaxy Watch series, and across our broader product portfolio. We have established three key pillars to help people reach their own goals: sensor innovation, connected wellness and industry collaboration.

Advanced Sensors for More Meaningful Insights

To create healthier habits and reach goals, it’s important we know ourselves better. For our users, this journey starts with Samsung’s groundbreaking BioActive Sensor. The BioActive Sensor delivers accurate and comprehensive health data and provides actionable insights and guidance users can leverage during their health and wellness journey.

First introduced with the Galaxy Watch4, the BioActive Sensor uses a unique single chip that combines two powerful health sensors – Optical Heart Rate (PPG) and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) – into one compact unit. Its streamlined design enhances performance and fits comfortably for increased accuracy and 24/7 usage. This helps users deepen their understanding, encourages action, and strengthens good habits to help them achieve their goals.

Our sensor provides insights across all aspects of health, but we’d like to highlight two key areas: sleep and body composition. Sleep is often an afterthought when establishing a solid wellness routine, but it is essential for holistic health. At Samsung, we’re serious about helping our community get better sleep. We’ve introduced various sleep quality tracking tools and launched a tailored sleep coaching program all aimed to help users get a more restful night’s sleep.

When it comes to fitness, in particular, everyone’s goals are different. That’s why BioActive Sensor also measures body composition, which deepens users’ knowledge of their physical health, far beyond merely losing weight. The sensor sends microcurrents to measure weight maintained, skeletal muscle gained, body fat loss and body water levels, relative to goals set, helping users hit targets and keep track of what matters to them.

Across these advancements, we remain intensely committed to the secure and private collection of data to give our users peace of mind during their wellness journeys. All health data is encrypted and secured on the device itself and guarded by Knox, ensuring users’ information remains isolated from unauthorized sources.

Wellness That Spans All Devices

We are also providing tools that allow consumers to track overall health and wellness — whether they’re at home, in the gym, or on the road. The Samsung Health app, with more than 200 million active global users, is at the center of Samsung’s health experience across an extensive range of devices, from smartwatches to smartphones to tablets and even TVs. The app — a holistic health hub that consolidates fitness, wellness, and health monitoring capabilities — records and compiles all kinds of health data and activity information, presents them intuitively, and gives guidance on how to leverage that data to maximize results. The collected information is comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and encourages positive action. More connected devices mean a more seamless and enhanced user experience. While following guided workout or meditation programs on Samsung Smart TVs or Galaxy Tabs at home, for example, your calorie count and heart rate are tracked on your Galaxy Watch but viewed on the larger screen for easier access. Your Galaxy Watch also recognizes when you fall asleep and automatically dims lights and turns off air conditioners in response.

Open Collaboration Means Better Health Experiences

To give our users the best experience possible, we partner with other leaders in technology and wellness. We have built a strong foundation with our technology, and we welcome collaboration on our open ecosystem — one that often serves as an incubator for exciting new applications, services and features. In collaboration with Google, we co-developed Wear OS and Health Connect so that more users can join the unified platform and take advantage of new services and solutions to meet everyone’s needs.

Samsung works extensively with third-party experts, research centers, and universities to further advance wearable tracking and insight capabilities, including the National Sleep Foundation for sleep, the University of California San Diego Sleep Laboratory and the University of California, San Francisco Hypoxia Research Laboratory for sleep and blood oxygen research, and Louisiana State University, Pennington Biomedical Research Center and the University of Hawaii Cancer Center for BIA research, to name a few. We’re also committed to researching new ways our health solutions can be used in the medical field. In the coming months, we’re focused on developing more tools and resources that will support the medical community and give our users a more holistic view of their health records.

The Promising Future of Health and Wellness

In the last few years, many people around the world have adopted new habits and interests. For many, these include a greater awareness of physical, mental and sleep health. To meet this demand, Samsung is excited to continue expanding our Galaxy Watch lineup to better cater to the many unique needs of our users — especially those with a passion for the outdoors.

Our work, however, does not stop there. We are constantly innovating and investing in research and development and exploring new ways to work with our trusted partners. Through open collaboration and focused innovation, we will ensure our users are equipped with advanced technologies that empower them to better understand their own minds and bodies for a truly integrated, holistic experience of health and wellness.

We can’t wait for you to see what’s next. Please be sure to tune in to Galaxy Unpacked on August 10 at 9:00 p.m. MYT on www.samsung.com/my/unpacked/.

When we think about May, Mother’s Day or Labour Day normally come to mind. But, did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month? This month is the time for you to check in with yourself and ‘spring clean’ the routines that may have dragged you. Read on to find out how you can celebrate this important initiative.

Note: You do not need to be personally affected by mental health to support Mental Health Awareness Month. The more people celebrating, the bigger the voice!

 Be Aware of Your Own Mental Health

It’s true that Mental Health Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing community awareness about mental health and wellness. However, it is essential to be self-aware before spreading awareness about anything. So, take a pause, and observe your daily routines, thoughts, feelings and state of mind.

With smart wearables like the Galaxy Watch4 that can monitor heart rate, sleep quality, breathing patterns, and even stress level, you can have a more holistic understanding of your overall wellbeing, the types of situations that create stress, and coping techniques to mitigate the downsides. When you feel overwhelmed, the arrow in the stress tracker will point towards red, and a guided deep breathing exercise recommendation will appear on-screen to help you calm your mind and body.

 Practice Daily Self-Care

Today’s overloaded schedules can send anyone into a tailspin, which is why it’s important to practice self-care daily. Whether it’s getting enough sleep every night, stepping outdoor for a breather or eating healthily, doing simple acts that you need and enjoy on a regular basis will help you build better mental resilience. Here are a few easy self-care activities you can do.

• When stress levels rise, meditation and mindfulness practices are a great way to unwind. Samsung Health’s suite of meditation, sleep stories and mindfulness features powered by Calm can help you unwind, be in the present and relax your mind from the Monday blues.

• Find an exercise activity you love and take 10 minutes out of your every day to do it. With a library of over 120 fitness programmes available in the Samsung Health app, you can enjoy exploring the routines to find your right one. Physical activities elevates endorphins, the happy hormones your body uses to fight sluggishness or sadness, so always keep your body active for a healthy mind.

• Because mental and emotional health is also reflected from sleep quality, getting enough 7 to 9 hours of sleep in a comfortable environment is important. To develop a better sleeping habit, sign yourself up to Galaxy Watch4’s one-month long Sleep Coaching program. Your sleeping pattern will be matched to a Sleep Symbol, and you’ll get daily reports and missions to refine your habits.

Build Awareness among Your Circle

Go a step further and encourage your friends to join your movement! Because actions speak louder than words, besides sharing informational mental health data on social media, you can be a positive role model to your circle by sharing your usual self-love activities too. Or, pump up the fun by inviting them to start a fitness squad. The Together Mode[1] in Samsung Health is where you and your friends can compete on fitness challenges against one another. Encouraging your friends and family to adopt to an active lifestyle can be a way to raise awareness for self-care, and mental health.

“Wake up on the right side of the bed”, as the old saying goes. It has nothing to do with which side of the bed you roll out of, but getting enough restorative deep sleep can wake you up in pleasant mood and energy. When you welcome the morning feeling rested, and life’s little obstacles will seem manageable.

But how and what can you do to improve your Zzz’s is the question. First, it is important to inspect the causes of the sleep disturbances you often encounter. With the new Galaxy Watch4 on your wrist all night, you can easily find the solutions to your problem!

Designed to coach you to develop better sleep habits, the Galaxy Watch4 uses its Advanced Sleep[1],[2]  function to analyse your sleep quality holistically and provide you with collective data such as sleep score, sleep stages, sleep time, blood oxygen levels, and snoring[3],[4] patterns. The latest version offers a new personalised Sleep Coaching[5] program which will assign you one of eight adorable Sleep Symbol animals that best represents your sleeping type based on your sleep patterns[6].

Guiding you through four to five weeks of coaching, the Galaxy Watch4 will feed you with missions, checklists, sleep related articles, meditation guidance, and easy-to-read reports, so you can work towards refining your sleep habits strategically.

Now that you’ve learned to track sleep patterns, here are some ways the smart Galaxy Watch4 can improve your sleep hygiene.

Your bedroom should be a haven of tranquility where you can curl up and relax away from the world. If you find yourself tossing and turning a lot, not getting much deep sleep, it could mean your bedroom is too hot or cold, or you’re stressed. With the Galaxy Watch4 and SmartThings[7], it is simple to create an optimal sleep setting. You can program a pre-set time in SmartThings settings to turn off the bedroom TV or adjusts the lights and air conditioner as part of your bedtime routine. When you’re falling asleep, the Galaxy Watch4 will auto-detect it and adjust the ideal sleeping environment for you following the presets without having you to get up. By setting your bedroom in a most comfortable lighting, temperature and noise level before sleep, getting restful nights would be more achievable.

Regular exercise is profoundly beneficial to your sleep too. Try the wide range of over 90 fitness routines recommended by Galaxy Watch4 whether it’s walking, jogging, cycling or strength training. You can even make exercising more fun by challenging your social circles to move more together with Group Challenge in Samsung Health app. Every bit of exercise you commit can help you sweat your way to a cheerful day and a restful night.

A fitness journey is a ride driven by passion, dedication, and a lot of discipline. Take it from Dr. Fazril, a fitness enthusiast and Aaron, an extreme sports enthusiast who both try their best at staying consistent amidst very intense schedules. Aaron is a high-energy adrenaline chaser who said he feels most himself when he’s cycling through dense terrain, relating the feel of mountain biking to the same zen he gets at home. Whereas Dr. Fazril is a focused go-getter whose desires push him to achieve a work-life balance that’s not only healthy, but rightfully sustainable.

So, what’s the secret to go on after a long day? Don’t we all just plop on the couch right after? If you find yourself asking any of those questions, then you’re just in luck! We spoke with the duo to find out their secrets to avoiding feeling drained from their active lifestyle.

Here’s everything you need to know!

Q: How do you have so much on your plate and yet find time to keep healthy?

Aaron: Despite what most people think, we don’t all have the same 24-hours because we have different needs and responsibilities – so it depends on how you schedule those activities according to the lifestyle you lead. My lifestyle has me constantly on the move, so scheduling for the week ahead and staying connected to the schedule I’ve set is step #1. For example, scheduling allowed me to spot an hour of free time before work commences, which I regularly use up for a cheeky mountain biking session to kickstart the day. The routine was tough to follow at first, but I love challenging myself, so find something that works for you and slowly build the pace!

Dr. Fazril: My lifestyle is a contrast to Aaron’s because they mainly involve meetings and appointments so finding time for physical activities are a necessity. Thankfully, the smartphones and tech we have today help plenty in keeping to a daily schedule if you put in the effort to commit. Working out is one hundred percent my way to regulate stress on top of pushing my body to go beyond what’s normally comfortable, and to be honest, it feels amazing to know I’m always the best version of myself both mentally and physically.

Q: When do you ever get to catch a break with such a tight schedule?

Aaron: It may sound like a lot, but it actually doesn’t feel like it because scheduling helps compartmentalise my energy for the whole day. Maybe it’s subconscious? But it really feels like I have an energy tank for each activity on my schedule because I’ve mentally prepped for it, as opposed to having one tank for the entire day which often leaves you drained by the end of it.

Dr. Fazril: Yeah, that’s a very cool way to put it! I want to add, another aspect is that your phone already does the time-management for you once a schedule’s been set. You just need to follow through with the program. I’m someone who relies on my smartphone quite heavily on a day-to-day basis to record workouts and edit them for social media content. Luckily, I got myself a phone with Long-Lasting Battery[1], so it always lasts me for as long as I need.

Aaron: Pretty much the same here except I always look forward to the last few hours before bedtime because that’s when I’ll happily binge on movies with the remaining juice left. I guess that answers the question of whether we take breaks! Rest & Recovery is SO important, never forget that!

Q: Besides a smartphone, what other devices do you use to make sure you’re always on top of the game?

Dr. Fazril: Of course! I love my tech and a convenient ecosystem between my devices. My phone does more than just run my schedule obviously, I use the S Pen it came with for mostly everything at work- from taking notes to clipping webpages whenever I’m doing research. Aside from the S Pen, I also got the Galaxy Watch4 some time ago to help with monitoring health and fitness. Little did I know then, the Watch4 would eventually become a central hub for me to control all my notifications, messages, calendars, and music. It’s crazy how tech evolved to where we are today, it almost makes me feel like I’m an international super spy or something!

Q: We noticed you both have different coloured phones, was that preference or purely coincidental?

Aaron: Well, I think looking good and feeling your best go hand in hand so naturally, my expression of who I am extended to my phone as well. I chose Black because I felt aligned to it. To me, the colour symbolises grit and tenacity – much like how I’d like to think of myself as a straightforward achiever who never backs down from a challenge.

Dr. Fazril: I’m quite a perfectionist when it comes to work so a minimalist design amidst the hectic nature of my job feels calming to me. I identified with the colour White because I felt it expresses my state of mine when I’m striving for perfection, like a focused slate waiting to be filled with all the working parts to execute any task flawlessly.

These #fitspirational men later reassured that leading an active lifestyle may sound like a handful, but no doubt it rewards the discipline of sticking through with unparalleled levels of self-growth, love, confidence, and a reminder that anyone can achieve their best selves if they work smart.

Think you’re similar to these aspiring go-getters? Start your journey now and shout it loud with the all-new Galaxy S22 Series, built to empower yourself with endless potential in the journey to be the best version of yourself you could possibly be!

Taking mum out for a lovely meal at her favourite restaurant or gifting her that gorgeous handbag she’s been eyeing are great gift ideas for Mother’s Day, which is happening on 8 May. However, mum deserves to be showered with love every day, even in understated ways like optimizing technology to ease her busy work and home life.

While digital devices and home appliances have a ubiquitous presence in our lives, it is important that they can work together seamlessly and intuitively around our daily routines. This is where Samsung’s SmartThings app comes in – it can easily control and share insights on connected devices, enhancing work and life for mum and the rest of the family, both in and outside of the home.

Read on to find out how Samsung’s SmartThings app and smart devices can make mum’s busy daily life easier.

Always be in (Remote) Control

When mum is busy at work in the office, SmartThings lets her focus on work while the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ gets started on its vacuum run at home. Linking the Samsung home appliances to SmartThings, mum will be able to control the products with a tap of the finger or voice control through her virtual assistant, Bixby, on her Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

SmartThings also lets mum check the device status, such as how the wash cycle is going on the AI Ecobubble washing machine, and sends a notification to her phone when the laundry is done, so she can continue working on that proposal, or enjoy her favourite Netflix drama without needing to linger near the washing machine.

To make things even simpler, SmartThings allows devices to be assigned to specific rooms so everything is well-organized. Are the lights in the living room or study switched off? Now mum can check and control the lighting in any room without having to leave the bed.

Simplify and Automate Daily Routines

Managing a household requires a lot of planning and organising, as well as keeping to familiar routines to keep things running smoothly at home. By adding your home’s compatible smart devices to the SmartThings app, mum can schedule household appliances to automatically activate at specific timings so there are fewer tasks for her to manually keep track of.

Love waking up to the sun shining through your window and a groovy playlist? SmartThings routines can help open smart motorized curtains and switch on the Samsung Q series soundbar in the morning so mum can wake up to sunshine and her favourite tunes. She can also adjust the brightness of compatible smart lightings via SmartThings so that she winds down after a long day in a softly lit environment, exactly the way she likes it.

By using SmartThings as the main control hub for your home’s smart devices, mum also won’t need to worry about misplaced or malfunctioning remote controls when everything she needs is right there on her phone.

Live, Work and Play Smarter

Besides making household chores easier to manage, Samsung also offers a wide range of gadgets and smart solutions for mum’s lifestyle, digital entertainment, and productivity needs. Here are three of our top picks:

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab S8: For mums who are always on-the-go, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 comes with Multi-Active Window[1] and Samsung DeX functions that can provide PC-like capabilities such as opening and resizing multiple apps at the same time and screen mirroring on an external display, giving mum extra versatility when multitasking through her projects and emails. The portability and generous screen sizes of the Galaxy Tab S8 series will also let her better enjoy her eBooks or K-dramas during a coffee break at a cosy café or while she’s on the way to her next appointment.

2. Samsung Galaxy Watch4: For mums who love their workouts and are looking for ways to keep track of their health, the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 is the perfect accessory for keeping up with her active lifestyle. The Galaxy Watch4 not only functions as a fitness tracker for her myriad workouts, but it can also help measure body composition[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8], and blood oxygen levels[9] [10], giving mum swift access to her vital health data.
