Samsung is rolling out a major update to its Health app this week, introducing new features for sleep and running, as well as the ability to scan meals for calorie and macro tracking. The update brings sleep and running coaches to the Samsung Health app, providing users with tips and checklists to improve their sleep quality and identify trends in their sleep tracking data.
The new sleep balance graph consolidates five key aspects of sleep indicators to give users an at-a-glance view of their sleep trends and areas that may need attention. The running coach also receives upgrades, with new training levels, a social media sharing feature, and deeper integration with Strava, allowing users to import running, trail, and cycling routes from Strava into Samsung Health.
Additionally, Samsung Health introduces a new "Scan Meal" feature for US users, allowing them to take a photo of their meal and the app will estimate calories and macros using AI. This feature is accompanied by a new "Diet Score" feature that helps users adjust their diet to support goals such as eating more vegetables, increasing protein, or limiting sugar and processed foods.
The diet score is calculated using a Samsung nutrition assessment model and categorized into four tiers to provide a general snapshot of certain aspects of users' eating habits.
