																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.</strong> announced the global availability of its latest foldable smartphones, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, and its new Galaxy Watch8 series. The Galaxy Z series has reached the highest number of pre-orders for Galaxy Z foldables ever in the U.K., with targets exceeded before the end of the pre-order period.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7: Ultra-Thin and -Light with Intuitive Intelligence</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Refined by years of breakthrough engineering and elevated with advanced intelligence, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 represent the next leap in smartphone. Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung’s thinnest, lightest and most advanced Z series devices yet. Powered by cutting-edge performance and seamlessly integrated Galaxy AI<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>, they are intelligent, adaptive companions that anticipate and respond to user needs in real time. With expansive, flexible displays, pro-grade cameras and context-aware intelligence, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 open up new realms of productivity, creativity and connection.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-21452 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/OnSale-Image-1.jpg" alt="" width="1430" height="939" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/OnSale-Image-1.jpg 1430w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/OnSale-Image-1-857x563.jpg 857w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/OnSale-Image-1-768x504.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/OnSale-Image-1-1024x672.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1430px) 100vw, 1430px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 brings Galaxy advancements together and broadens their scope, delivering the Ultra -level experience in the thinnest, lightest and most advanced Z Series yet. It offers immersive, high-octane performance on an expansive screen, empowering you to game, stream, connect and create all at once. Galaxy’s true AI companion experience has also been optimised for the foldable format, enabling fluid interactions across more apps and the larger screen. And with Camera and screen sharing with Gemini Live<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a>, users can talk naturally to Gemini about what they’re viewing. They can simply share a picture of a local delicacy while they’re exploring a new city and ask Gemini whether there is a nearby restaurant where they can try it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Plus, Galaxy Z Fold7’s ultra-grade 200MP high-resolution camera gives the freedom to shoot at flexible angles, putting professional-quality content creation at user’s fingertips. For example, convenient editing features like Generative Edit<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a> now automatically detects passers-by in the background of photos and proactively recommends what to remove, eliminating the need to make manual selections and edits. Apart from these features, Galaxy Z Fold7 brings familiarity and durability in a head-turning new design that unfolds into something extraordinary.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Flip7 distills flagship power, intelligence and personality into a compact and iconic form. With its edge-to-edge FlexWindow, you can express yourself, access key features at a glance and stay connected, all without opening the device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Built for dynamic lifestyles, Galaxy Z Flip7 transforms the way users capture and share content, from flawless selfies to cinematic video, all with the agility and creativity only Flip devices can offer. Now Bar<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a> delivers helpful information right on Galaxy Z Flip7’s FlexWindow to help users stay in control of their day, such as what song is playing, workout progress and even rideshare ETAs at a glance. Gemini Live also allows users to share what they see through their camera and chat with Gemini in real time directly on FlexWindow. So, they can ask for travel tips while road tripping with their dog or outfit suggestions based on the day’s weather. Users can also simply share the camera in Flex Mode and converse with Gemini hands-free.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Flip7’s FlexCam makes it easier than ever to capture the perfect selfie. Real-time filters on the FlexWindow instantly enhance users FlexCam selfies, so that they can be ready to post or share without the need for any extra editing. And with fun new features like Portrait Studio<span>3</span> for pets, users can instantly transform any snapped or downloaded pet photo into a work of art. They can choose from styles that resemble artistic paintings, 3D cartoons, fisheye lens photos or professional-quality portraits, and create frame-worthy masterpieces with one quick tap.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Years of breakthrough engineering have led foldables to become flexible canvases for the new AI experience. As a new class of smartphones designed to fit in with and elevate user lives, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 represent this achievement. Familiar yet transformative, they blend power, portability, style and substance, whether users seek a revolutionary, ultra-level experience or an AI powerhouse that fits in their pocket. As form factors evolve to look and think differently, this generation of foldables represents the next leap in smartphone innovation.</p>

<li>Named “Morning People”, the track blends Jamie’s signature wit with practical health &amp; wellness tips</li>
<li>New research reveals 68% say poor sleep affects their daily lives</li>
<li>Commissioned by Samsung Health, the campaign calls on the nation to seize the day and achieve their wellness goals with the help of AI-powered wearable tech including the Samsung Galaxy Watch Series &amp; Galaxy Ring</li>
<li>Samsung have announced new features to help consumers set up habits to improve sleep, heart health, fitness and nutrition as part of the upcoming One UI 8 Watch, which will be available on the newest Galaxy Watch Series</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jamie Laing is urging the nation to hit snooze on snoozing via a surprise music collab aimed at energising mornings and championing wellness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Podcast Host, Ultramarathon Runner, and Reality TV Star has turned Motivational Speaker for the spoken word anthem which aims to transform Britain’s bleary-eyed mornings into turbocharged triumphs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Titled <strong>“Morning People”</strong>, the track showcases a bold, synth driven battle cry for better mornings, smarter sleep, and data-driven days — complete with an inspirational animated lyric video.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drenched in dopamine-bright visuals, the video follows an animated Jamie leaping into action with the help of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra &amp; Galaxy Ring — from guided breathing to movement nudges and mindfulness moments. It’s wellness with a beat drop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new campaign encourages consumers to become more morning people, with AI-powered sleep tracking, personalised training plans and Energy Score – a daily measurement of your physical and mental energy and readiness. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Series &amp; Galaxy Ring deliver actionable insights so users can stay on track and keep motivation high <a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From “Check in with your breath, your mood, your mind” to “Use your feet / Find your rhythm ”, Jamie delivers genuine advice with warmth and charisma — all designed to help a sleep-deprived nation build better habits and wake up feeling ready to ditch the snooze button and “<em>carpe the heck outta that diem”</em>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“If you can beat the morning, you can win the day” says Jamie. “That’s why I love what Samsung Health is doing — helping people understand the body <em>and</em> the mind, and how tech can empower you to live your best day.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The track follows Jamie’s headline-making 150-mile ultramarathon — a feat that earned him the title of the UK’s official <em>Morning Motivator</em>. And now he’s using his platform to help others start their day right, with a focus on rest, recovery, and routine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It comes following research that the average Brits only sleeps for 6 hours, with four in 10 admitting that it is stopping them from reaching their full potential.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ever-changing temperatures (35%), overthinking past decisions (32%), and pain or discomfort (28%) topped the list as issues stopping Brits from getting their 40 winks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It also emerged that 59% of the nation don’t class themselves as morning people as research shows nearly a third (30%) of Brits hit snooze on a weekday morning twice or more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Half the nation revealed they feel grumpy (50%) and stressed (34%) in mornings following a rough sleep and over three-quarters (78%) believe their mental wellbeing would improve if they managed to sleep consistently well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A third of Brits will cancel their plans following a bad night’s sleep (32%) and 33 per cent blame a lack of sleep for snapping at someone, craving junk food (23%) or making an error at work (21%).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Annika Bizon, Mobile Experience VP of Product &amp; Marketing, Samsung UK&amp;I, said:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Sleep is the foundation to our approach to health, as it influences physical and mental wellbeing, yet our research reveals that many of us aren’t getting enough. That’s why we are taking action, providing innovative tools to help people understand and improve their sleep. By offering insights, coaching, and inspiration like the Morning People track, we are empowering better starts and helping the nation seize the day.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The study commissioned by Samsung Health, ushers in a new era of wellness powered by AI.  The wearable technology including the Galaxy Watch Series &amp; Galaxy Ring paired with Samsung Health, is designed to optimise wellness and recovery, helping users seize the day and reach their goals from the moment they wake up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>LONDON, U.K. –</strong><strong> Sept. 27</strong><strong>, 2024 </strong>– Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced a new <strong>Samsung Health Software Development Kit (SDK) Suite</strong>. Designed to better support developers and researchers in creating innovative healthcare solutions, the SDK Suite leverages Samsung’s advanced sensor technology and comprehensive Samsung Health platform. The new complete package of sensor, data, accessory and research stack components is now readily accessible to an expanded range of partners, developers and researchers.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Sensor SDK: Fueling Health Services Development through Advanced Sensor Technology </strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Sensor SDK provides developers with Samsung’s powerful BioActive Sensor algorithm on the Galaxy Watch, empowering them to explore new sectors of health services and create advanced new solutions. The BioActive Sensor measures a diverse range of health metrics including heart rate, skin temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG) and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A notable update features continuous access to Photoplethysmogram (PPG) Infrared (IR) and Red LED sensor data for the first time. This advancement will help enhance health services related to blood oxygen level (SpO2) to improve sleep quality and beyond. The upgraded BIA now provides additional measurements—magnitude and degree—expanding on the existing eight indicators, including skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass, to present more precise body composition analysis to offer deeper insights into overall physical health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Data SDK: Comprehensive Health Insights Unlock New Value in Health Services</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Starting from October, the newly added Data SDK enables developers to utilise integrated health data gathered from diverse devices such as Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Ring, smartphones or even third-party devices to create innovative digital health solutions. Data SDK provides access to health metrics on the Samsung Health app—including sleep, exercise, blood pressure, food intake, and blood glucose levels—analysed by its advanced algorithm. These streamlined insights generated by Samsung Health enable developers to enhance their productivity when developing the healthcare services.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Accessory SDK: Holistic Health Insights from Various Health Devices in One Place</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>With Accessory SDK, developers can integrate compatible third-party heath devices—such as blood pressure monitors, fitness devices like bike sensors, heart rate monitors and even glucose monitors—through the Samsung Health app. This makes it easy to view health status information in one place without activating separate third-party apps, promoting a seamless and simplified experience and expanding the ecosystem for end-to-end health management.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Research Stack: Empowering Research Institutions To Further Support the Healthcare Industry</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Research Stack is an open-source project that aims to expand the digital health research ecosystem. Research Stack creates a flexible and versatile research environment, by providing not only the mobile and wearable app SDK but also web portal and backend services, to support all stages of the research process, from recruitment and surveys to progress tracking and results monitoring. The recently updated Research Stack boasts a comprehensive toolset developed based on valuable feedback from research institutions and their experiences implementing complex, large-scale studies. Additionally, the forthcoming 2.0 version will directly integrate Sensor SDK and Data SDK from the Health SDK Suite. Research Stack has already been used by leading institutions as part of their research and discovery processes, underscoring Samsung’s active support for the healthcare industry, providing researchers with more efficient studies and meaningful results.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung has been driving digital heath innovation to help simplify health and wellness by bringing together insights and metrics to offer a more impactful and streamlined wellness experience. This approach starts by improving access to simple and accurate health tracking through Samsung’s BioActive Sensor, which provides you with more comprehensive, personalised and accurate health data<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthering this mission, Samsung is raising the bar again and introducing the newest iteration of its BioActive Sensor. Coming to the next Galaxy Watch, the new sensor will enable advanced predictive and preventative wellness features never before seen on a wearable device — in addition to more accurate health measurements.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Introducing Samsung’s New BioActive Sensor </strong></h3>
<p>The all-new BioActive Sensor is essential to bringing you better preventative health experiences on the next Galaxy Watch, with design improvements that enable even more precise health insights. Samsung engineers focused on three upgrades to the new sensor: enhancing the performance of light-receiving photodiodes, adding additional colors of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and arranging them optimally across the sensor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung more than doubled the performance of each photodiode, successfully decreasing the number needed to maintain capacity from eight to four. This redesign freed up additional space for the integration of a larger number and variety of LEDs and ensured their optimal placement across the sensor. The new sensor now includes Blue, Yellow, Violet and Ultraviolet LEDs in addition to an increased number of Green, Red and Infrared LEDs. With the integration and arrangement of these LEDs, photodiodes and specially designed photodiode, Samsung is taking innovation one step further and is now able to pursue unexplored aspects of health monitoring on wearables.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bringing Greater Accuracy and New Possibilities for Preventative Wellness</strong></h3>
<p>The optimal allocation of Green, Red and Infrared LEDs sets new standards in wearable technology by improving accuracy and enabling exceptional performance across a broad array of health metrics. This allows the new BioActive Sensor to more accurately measure health metrics such as heart rate, sleep quality, blood pressure<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a>, blood oxygen levels and stress levels<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a>. Even the measurement of heart rate during intensive workouts is 30% more accurate compared to its predecessor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The more diverse colors of LEDs and newly designed photodiodes unlock new possibilities and empower you to better predict trends and take proactive steps for preventative care. The first of these features will be an Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) Index<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a> — an indicator of metabolic health and biological aging strongly influenced by overall lifestyle and dietary habits. Used as an insightful biomarker, this index provides a snapshot of your biological age to help you make more informed decisions about your wellness journey and work towards a healthier future. The addition of an AGEs Index is just one of the many new advanced features planned for the next Galaxy Watch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next Galaxy Watch will bring more sophisticated and intelligent health and wellness tools to help you reach your goals.</p>

It is not meant to replace traditional methods of diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.</span></em></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LONDON, UK – 12 January, 2023 – </strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced new software updates to Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Galaxy Watch series, elevating content capturing for Galaxy users everywhere. Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones have long been offering the best photography and videography experiences, letting users create, capture, and share their best moments. Now, when paired with the latest wearable devices, the already-powerful Galaxy camera is further strengthened with 360 Audio Recording, the unique feature that brings immersive sound to video content, along with an upgrade to the Camera Controller that makes zooming in and out remotely easier. These software updates reflect Samsung’s continuous commitment to providing the most up-to-date experiences to existing devices.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>360 Audio Recording: Capture the World as You Hear it</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new 360 Audio Recording feature<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> empowers users to capture sound on video, precisely as they hear it. Pairing <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/feature-stories/infographic-galaxy-buds2-pro-taking-immersive-sound-deeper-with-earbuds-built-for-comfort">Galaxy Buds2 Pro</a> with a Galaxy smartphone, everyone can film like a pro and capture high-quality, realistic audio for video without the need for bulky professional equipment, anytime, anywhere. The feature picks up 360-degree sound using a microphone in each earbud, placing viewers at the centre of a roaring festival crowd or beside a bubbling brook in the middle of a forest. Users can pop in connected headphones and playback the video on their device or social media channel to hear lifelike and immersive sounds that emulate an in-person experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>360 Audio Recording is the first feature in the Galaxy line leveraging LE Audio, an advanced new Bluetooth audio standard. This new technology brings better audio quality as well as improved latency and battery life. Beyond providing better-sounding music, LE Audio also broadens the spectrum of audio experiences to deliver more complex and rich sound that can be shared with others. Now, LE Audio brings binaural recording to Galaxy Buds2 Pro – taking advantage of both the left and right mics at the same time. When pairing the Buds2 Pro with a <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/press-releases/introducing-samsung-galaxy-z-flip4-and-galaxy-z-fold4-the-most-versatile-devices-changing-the-way-we-interact-with-smartphones">Galaxy Z Flip4 or Fold4</a>, users are drawn into the moment, benefitting from high-quality stereo audio as well as high-quality video.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Camera Controller: Frame the Perfect Shot Right </strong><strong>f</strong><strong>rom Your Wrist</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Photography and videography with Galaxy smartphones are about maintaining creative control in any situation. One example is the Galaxy Watch’s Camera Controller app, which enables users to control their phone camera right from their wrist. A new update – soon to be available on the <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/press-releases/samsung-leads-holistic-health-innovation-with-galaxy-watch5-and-galaxy-watch5-pro">Galaxy Watch5</a> and Watch4 series – adds zoom capabilities to Camera Controller<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a>, further expanding the Galaxy camera experience with Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy Watch connectivity. Now users can remotely control their phone’s camera zoom with a simple pinch of the watch face or a turn of the rotating bezel &#8211; perfect for taking group shots or solo selfies from a distance and eliminating the need to run back and forth to the camera to frame the perfect picture.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Availability<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new 360 Audio Recording feature will be progressively released on Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 via software updates starting today<span>1</span>. The updated Camera Controller feature will be available on the Galaxy Watch5, Watch5 Pro, Watch4 and Watch4 Classic beginning from February<span>2</span>. These new wearable features are expected to provide more powerful synergies with the new Galaxy camera capabilities – offering new and never-before seen experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tune in on 1 February for more details of Samsung’s advanced Galaxy smartphone that will be announced at <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/invitation-galaxy-unpacked-2023-share-the-epic">Galaxy Unpacked</a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>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 the progress that we have made as we approach our most recent step in our health journey.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>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 that everyone has access to the resources they need, so they can work towards the best version of themselves.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>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: <strong>sensor innovation, connected wellness and industry collaboration.</strong> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span>Advanced Sensors for More Meaningful </span></strong><strong>Insights</strong></h3>
<p><span>To create healthier habits and reach goals, it’s important that 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 which users can leverage during their health and wellness journey.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>First introduced with the Galaxy Watch4, the BioActive Sensor uses a unique single chip that combines three powerful health sensors – Optical Heart Rate (PPG), Electrical Heart Signal (ECG) 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.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>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 programme, all aimed to help users get a more restful night’s sleep.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>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 lost and body water levels, relative to goals set, helping users hit targets and keep track of what matters to them.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Across these advancements, we remain intensely committed to the secure and private collection of data to give our users peace of mind during their</span><span> wellness journeys. All health data is encrypted and secured on the device itself and guarded by Knox, ensuring users’ information remains isolated from unauthorised sources.</span><span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span>Wellness That Spans All Devices</span></strong></h3>
<p><span>We are also providing tools that allow consumers to track overall health and wellness — whether they’re</span><span> at home, in the gym, or on the road. The Samsung Health app, with more than 200 million active global users, is at the centre of Samsung’s health experience across an extensive range of devices, from smartwatches to smartphones, 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 maximise results. The collected information is comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and encourages positive action.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span> More connected devices means a more seamless and enhanced user experience. While following guided workout or meditation programmes 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 recognises when you fall asleep and automatically dims lights and turns off air conditioners in response.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span>Open Collaboration Means Better Health Experiences</span></strong></h3>
<p><span>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.  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung works extensively with third-party experts, research centres, 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&#8217;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. </span></p>

<h3><strong><span>The Promising Future of Health and Wellness</span></strong></h3>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>We can’t wait for you to see what’s next. Please be sure to tune in to Galaxy Unpacked on August 10 at 2pm BST on <a href="http://www.samsung.com/">Samsung.com</a>.</span></p>
