All the health information we get from our wearables can feel pleasant to have or, what is worse, confusing. It rarely feels processable. However, several important updates that reach the alignment of Samsung Galaxy Watch could change the way we see all this health -based health intelligence, we make the advice useful and, most importantly, personal.
When I last talked to Dr. Hon Pak of Samsung, he told me that Samsung was working on a “objective -based experience” with regard to Samsung Health, who runs Dr. Pak, a trained dermatologist, he directs.
Now, it seems that Samsung is achieving that goal with a collection of updates that impact, run the training, sleep, toxins and more.
Best dream
His Galaxy Watch and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, for example, are already helping him to monitor things such as sleep and even how ready he is for the day with an “energy score”, which is mainly related to the quality of sleep and how prepared it is for his day. However, a new guidance function for bedtime will help you create a better sleeping experience. Dr. Pak told me that he is designed so that workers do not have change workers and not have non -computerable programs and wish to “want” back to their sleep patterns. “
The scenario analyzes the circadian rhythms and the accumulation of sleep debt (it does not sleep enough for a series of days, which tends to develop a deficit). The system learns for three days and nights and then presents a score, but most importantly, it gives you recommendations for bedtime. Then, instead of a configuration before bedtime that is established once and forgets, the system is already analyzing your sleep needs and providing variable bed times.
Racing coach
The second and most personalized health and physical conditioning update is the coach. Like the guide when sleeping, he uses a training activity to learn about his current skills and needs, in this case, using a 12 -minute race (or walking, whatever, can do it). He begins by telling the characteristic his career objectives, for example, a 5K in two months or a marathon before the end of the year.
“We want to give them a training program specifically designed for them,” Dr. Pak told me, “because what we are finding is that people strive too much and get injured or stop and never reach the objectives.”
Samsung is working with experts in sports medicine in several universities to obtain guidance on what training to provide based on the 12 -minute results, which produce a score between 0 (not runners) and 10 (marathoners), and the objective.
“It’s not alone, ‘hey, go do these programs.’
Heart health
While vascular load does not provide so much personal orientation, it can provide, after three detection nights, a baseline on its cardiovascular and cardiac health. It also tracks trends about whether stress in its cardiovascular system is going up or down. Since he is continuously monitoring during sleep, you get the base trends and long term in which you may act.
Finally, and as rumors have suggested, Samsung Galaxy Watch will add a sensor to see its antioxidant index, an approximation of beneficial antioxidants levels in their diet. The LED sensor measures carotenoids, which is a form of beta -carotene: a powerful antioxidant. From this measure, you get a number of 1-100.
“Using LED lights, we can prove the adequacy of beta-queratin and, as a substitute, antioxidants, in his system,” said Dr. Pak.
Instead of building a new sensor, Samsung took the bioactive sensor that added to its Galaxy clock last year and is now taking advantage of the additional LED sensors (especially certain wavelengths). This means that antioxidant measurements will continue with the Galaxy Galaxy Watch models last year and this year.
Samsung allows me to quickly try the new antioxidant index by placing my finger on the back of a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. It only took a few seconds for my score, 52, appear in the Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra paired. From what they have told me, that is an average rating, so I feel pretty good with my level of antioxidants.
Get the score
It has been a year since Samsung launched its energy score and the Galaxy ring, and was curious to know what they have learned so far.
Dr. Pak told me that since the introduction of energy scores, Samsung Health’s average users have increased considerably. “I think people are very motivated and encouraged to come to see their energy score; there is something about, as they get up, not only how they sleep, but what should they do? It is the only characteristic that looks forward and helps you plan that day.”
As for how the galaxy ring has been accepted, Dr. Pak told me that people like the form factor, “and the simplicity of not having a screen, and simply using and forgetting it due to the long battery life.” He added that predominant cases have so far been to sleep and the health of women (cycle monitoring).
We also talked about factors portable and if there is a space between the Galaxy ring without a screen and the Beefy Galaxy Watch Ultra. Dr. Pak reminded me of the Band Galaxy Fit 3 of low profile, but added: “I clearly agree that there is something, that the need is still there, that these two are not.” Then he added: “Then you will see the newest watches that are very comfortable. It will surprise you.”
