Health and wellbeing are about building and maintaining habits that are good for mind and body, for individuals and communities. Samsung’s Digital Health teams collaborate with top hospitals, healthcare industry partners, and universities to transform how healthcare is delivered and good health is sustained. Samsung uses design thinking to address some of healthcare’s toughest challenges, from improving care and producing better outcomes, to reducing costs and expanding access.
Focusing on wearable, mobile, and cloud-based form factors, Samsung’s multi-disciplinary team develops innovative technologies that it then turns into groundbreaking commercial products to support clinicians, patients, and consumers. Samsung uses advanced sensor technology to capture physiologic responses and make use of its AI/ML framework to build algorithms that detect and trigger alerts for specific health conditions. It employs data analytics to supplement clinical care and facilitate remote patient monitoring, thereby helping patients make behavioural changes that improve their health and daily lives.
Samsung’s portfolio of digital health solutions are important tools in helping clinicians and their patients monitor and manage serious health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, and cancer; as well as chronic illnesses including diabetes, hypertension, depression, sleep disorders, and obesity.
Samsung’s work encompasses the entire range of processes, from ideating, developing, and incubating; to designing and delivering market-ready products; to supporting and evolving currently released products. Samsung’s expertise in programme management, engineering, QA, regulatory affairs and compliance, clinical validation, and user research and human factors study – supported by Samsung’s award-winning designers – allows Samsung to move and adapt quickly.
As social structures and environments change and there are more needs of new health services, digital health with the combination of IT and healthcare will play a central role in future medicine. Based on the health data from various sources, we can get insights from the utilisation of cloud, AI and analytics technologies and new experiences will be provided such as customised treatment for patients.
Samsung SDS owns the total offering for the entire area of digital health from medical-exclusive infrastructure to hospital-specific solution, digital health data platform and analytics services.
Samsung Health can help keep away the blues with a suite of meditation and mindfulness features that are designed to help you manage your body and mind in collaboration with Calm.
Samsung Health recently expanded its language support of its Mindfulness service in collaboration with Calm2, the number one sleep and meditation app. Now more people can easily access a variety of guided programmes in different languages, from English to German, French, and Spanish. To make sure you stay relaxed this season, here are some helpful tips for using Samsung Health to manage your stress.
When stress levels rise, meditation and mindfulness practices are a great way to unwind. Studies have shown that mindfulness can improve your overall wellbeing, reduce anxiety and depression, and even improve physical health.
Mindfulness techniques include everything from quiet meditation, breathing exercises, and directed attention. Through the Samsung Health app, you can enjoy a variety of mindfulness and meditation activities to help you get back into the swing of work and school.
Just open the Samsung Health app, select ‘Discover,’ and tap ‘Mindfulness’. From there you can select guided meditation programmes, Sleep Stories, and a wide selection of relaxing music. And that’s not all – using Galaxy wearables, like the Galaxy Watch Active2, you can pause and play meditation sessions and measure your stress levels before and after to see how much your stress levels have improved.
Samsung believes in putting the very best mobile experiences into the hands of as many people as possible, which includes its commitment to providing continuous software support for previous Galaxy Watch models. And now, a new software update has also enabled Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Watch3 owners to enjoy new features and a range of new watch faces to personalise their smartwatch experience.
Fall Detection is designed to identify hard falls when the wearer is moving, such as when they are doing physical activities like running. Coming to Galaxy Watch Active2 and Watch3, the new update gives you the option to select a higher Fall Detection’s sensitivity – you can even choose to detect a fall when you are standing still. Once a fall is detected, your watch will send an SOS notification to pre-selected contacts, helping ensure that the wearer can receive the assistance they need as soon as possible. This makes it easier to keep both yourself and your more vulnerable loved ones safe.
Group Challenge enables you to work out with friends no matter how far apart you are – helping you stay motivated and connected by working out together. With the new update you can now add your friends or family members to a Challenge, battling it out to see who can go the furthest or the fastest, either working as a team or competing against each other individually. Keep track of your own place in the competition or see how you’re performing as a team – all from your wrist.
Watch faces are a fun and simple way to make your Galaxy Watch reflect your personal style. Now, you can enjoy 10 additional watch faces that first launched with the Galaxy Watch4. From the bright and bold Big Number and Active watch faces, to the stylish and minimalist Classic – more options means more freedom to express yourself.
Some of the new watch faces are designed to enable you to take personalisation a step further. Tapping on these watch faces will enable you to pick between different background or text colours, while the Animals watch face allows you to choose between different colourful animated creatures like a monkey, rabbit, sheep, or cat.
