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.

Powered by Samsung’s cutting-edge sensor technology that provides a holistic, real-time overview of our health, the new Galaxy Watch8 series[1] shifts the focus to preventative care. It provides clear, actionable insights based on your lifestyle patterns to help you understand your body and mind more deeply, build healthy habits and help identify silent threats such as ectopic beats early on.

▲The Galaxy Watch8 series’ Antioxidant Index allows you to monitor your antioxidant intake by measuring carotenoid levels in the skin.

Preventative Care Through Early Detection

With new heart metrics, Galaxy Watch8 series spots the potential for health issues sooner, so you can prevent them before they start:

• Ectopic Beat Detection: Galaxy Watch8’s enhanced Electrocardiogram (ECG)[2] can better capture ectopic beats – premature heartbeats that often go undetected in routine checkups as they frequently occur without noticeable symptoms. It is well known that frequent ectopic beats can be considered clinically significant and may lead to arrhythmias that drive up stroke and heart-failure risk. Galaxy Watch8 series provides enhanced ECG measurement with the ability to differentiate instances of frequent ectopic beats providing earlier insights to support preventive care.

• Vascular Load: While you sleep, Galaxy Watch8 reads Photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveforms – optical signals associated with blood flow during sleep. It measures blood volume and vascular stiffness and precisely analyzes changes in stress on blood vessels. Because diet, stress, and rest all affect this metric, regular monitoring shows which habits to fine-tune and helps you cut cardiovascular risk before it takes hold.

Lifestyle Changes Motivated by Sensor-Driven Insights

The Galaxy Watch8 series’ advanced sensor now gives you more immediate insights for your nutrition and sleep patterns to steer you towards lasting, sustainable habits:

• Antioxidant Index: Because lifestyle often outweighs genetics, the Galaxy Watch8 series shines a light on your daily choices. The BioActive Sensor measures skin carotenoids in five seconds using multi-wavelength absorption spectroscopy. After analyzing these carotenoids, an antioxidant which reflects fruit and vegetable intake, you are given a score of 0–100, which is categorized into one of three levels. This score shows how diet, UV light, alcohol and stress are impacting your antioxidant levels. With insufficient fruit and vegetable intake linked to major health risks, this non-invasive metric offers meaningful insight, promotes healthier choices and adds another layer of prevention to your daily routine.

• Bedtime Guidance: Leveraging the science behind the two-process model of sleep regulation, the Galaxy Watch8 series tracks your circadian rhythm (internal body clock) and sleep pressure (how much your body needs sleep), over three days. It then interprets this data as a differential equation to calculate the optimal bedtime for waking up refreshed. The algorithm uses changes in sleep threshold and individual sleep needs throughout the day to deliver personalized guidance. Developed by KAIST and clinically tested at Samsung Medical Center, this feature helps build healthier sleep routines that lead to deeper, less interrupted sleep and more energized mornings.

Pioneering the Next Era of Preventative Care

Samsung’s sensor innovation is setting a new standard for preventative care. The Galaxy Watch8 series helps unify your patterns, expose hidden risks, and deliver real-time actionable insights so you can safeguard your health in advance. Samsung is not only redefining what a smartwatch can do today, but also accelerating the next wave of preventative-care breakthroughs for tomorrow.
