Overview
- Samsung announced the overhaul on Thursday and said the redesigned Samsung Health app will begin rolling out to phones and tablets on June 8, 2026.
- A new Vitals feature will analyze five overnight bio-signals—heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen—against each user’s resting baseline and notify only on meaningful deviations.
- Samsung is replacing last year’s Vascular Load with a Heart Health Score that combines sleep, stress, activity, and body composition into a single long-term cardiovascular wellness metric.
- The update adds Daily Cardio Load to measure recent cardiovascular strain and recommend training or rest, and a Fitness Index that compares steps, heart rate, and VO2 max to peers to set personalized goals.
- The app’s home is reorganized into Activity, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Sleep, and Vitals with an AI Energy Score and new Hearing Health monitoring, the company says the features debut first on next-generation Galaxy Watches and are not being gated behind a paid tier; independent accuracy and regulatory status were not detailed.
