Samsung develops an AI ecosystem that supports healthcare

Specifically, S26 series phones and Watch8 series watches connect seamlessly via Galaxy AI, supporting users to proactively build a healthy lifestyle in a flexible way. According to the company’s representative, instead of suggesting a series of big changes, personalized AI will help start from small but appropriate habits that can be maintained long term.

Through the Samsung Health application – the health data center on the Galaxy S26 series, a series of positive user changes are quantified into scores, indicators and visual levels, helping to more clearly monitor the process of health improvement.

To help people understand body signals, the vital index feature on the new generation Galaxy watch will deeply analyze 5 important sleep issues including: heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory frequency, skin temperature, blood oxygen concentration. “Through these parameters, users can recognize when the body needs more rest,” the representative added.

With practice, the ecosystem provides an entrance test to evaluate the running level, using it as a basis for building appropriate lesson plans. In addition, heart health score is updated on Galaxy Watch, helping users understand their heart health. This index is compiled daily from sleep data, stress levels, physical activity and body composition data.

In terms of nutrition, users can check the level of carotenoids (antioxidants) on the skin thanks to the antioxidant index feature, which helps and motivates them to maintain a healthy diet.

In addition to Galaxy AI on mobile devices, Samsung integrates Bespoke AI on electronics and home appliances and Vision AI on audio-visual devices, contributing to promoting a healthy lifestyle, synchronous and unified experience.

Previously in December 2024, the Samsung team surveyed 18,168 adults, aged 18-59 in Southeast Asia and Oceania, more than ⅔ of the cases said they only spent about 6 hours and 59 minutes on average sleeping each night, lower than the 7-9 hours recommended by the WHO. The stress level of survey participants in Vietnam is about 30-41%, higher than the average level of 20-29% in Southeast Asia and Oceania.

In order to improve health status and inspire Vietnamese people to change themselves from small habits, in early June, Samsung Vietnam launched the Every Step Forward campaign, with a variety of activities. The focus is the Everyday Proactive Health Care – For a Healthy Vietnam program, implemented by the coordinating unit of the Central Health Education and Communication Center (Ministry of Health).

Most recently, the parties organized the Galaxy Run on June 21, welcoming about 5,000 runners, contributing to spreading the spirit of healthy living and applying technology in health care.

In addition, there will be a series of thematic seminars including improving CDC’s communication capacity and discussing the application of digital technology and smart devices in health monitoring and management. The program is aimed at students, providing information so they can actively monitor all indicators and form self-care habits.

Not only individual impacts, the Step by Step campaign aims to engage the community through the “Together” and “Fitness” sections on the Samsung Health app. Currently, the business organizes Galaxy Running Club playgrounds periodically every weekend in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, creating a sustainable physical training environment for people who love exercise.
