Samsung's Galaxy Watch lineup is about to get a whole lot smarter with AI and Samsung Health
Samsung is bringing its Galaxy AI tech to the Galaxy Watch, following its introduction on the Galaxy S24 smartphones. This move aims to create a more personalized and useful health experience for users, combining the power of on-device AI with the comprehensive Samsung Health app.
So, what does this mean for you? Well, your Galaxy Watch will be able to offer more detailed insights into your health patterns. A new feature called "Energy Score" will take into account various health metrics like sleep time, sleep consistency, and heart rate variability, giving you a better understanding of your overall condition. Additionally, personalized "Wellness Tips" will be provided based on your individual health goals, offering you tailored guidance and motivation.
AI will also make your health metrics more accurate. Sleep tracking, for example, will get a major upgrade with a refined algorithm that can provide deeper insights into your sleep patterns and quality. This includes new indicators like movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart rate, and respiratory rate, alongside existing metrics like snoring hours, blood oxygen level, and sleep cycle.
If you're a fitness enthusiast, you'll be happy to hear that your Galaxy Watch will soon offer more intelligent and personalized fitness tracking. The Personalized Health Rate Zone, which already offers five running intensity levels, will now include detailed Aerobic and Anaerobic Threshold metrics for a better understanding of your running performance. Cyclists will also benefit from the ability to easily calculate Functional Threshold Power (FTP) in just 10 minutes, using personalized power indexes based on AI data analysis.
