The update, which starts rolling out on June 8, turns Samsung Health into an \u201cAI-powered health platform\u201d with a few key additions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, \u201cVitals\u201d is a one-stop shop for heart rate,\u00a0heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen stats so you can easily see if anything is out of the ordinary at a glance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u201cHeart Health Score\u201d is also being added which is based on factors such as \u201csleep, stress, and activity\u201d combined with body composition data. <\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"717163\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/samsung-health-redesign-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-717163\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"717164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/samsung-health-redesign-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-717164\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDaily Cardio Load\u201d will measure \u201caccumulated cardiovascular strain\u201d through the day to help users hit their activity goals, with the app setting targets for users to hit. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the \u201cFitness Index\u201d will analyze metrics such as \u201cheart rate, VO2\u00a0max (a key measure of aerobic fitness), and daily steps against users\u2019 peers to gauge exercise efficacy.\u201d showing an overall score as well as breaking the score down into strength, flexbility, endurance, cardio, and body composition sectors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"717166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/samsung-health-redesign-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-717166\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"717165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/samsung-health-redesign-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-717165\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samsung teases that this new Health app is the start of a new future for the company\u2019s fitness efforts, \u201ca future that will be fully realized with the launch of Samsung\u2019s next generation of Galaxy watches, engineered to bring proactive intelligence to life like never before.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, while there\u2019s not much being said about the Galaxy Watch 9 here, this is clearly Samsung\u2019s first hint at the fitness-focused and AI-centric wearable.
