New health features

Samsung has released new health features to help encourage people to build healthier habits for the One UI 8 that will be available in the beta program, with the new features being:


What is the Bedtime Guidance feature?

Bedtime guidance is a new sleep feature set to help you maximise your chances of getting the best possible sleep by recommending the best optimal time to go to sleep based on your lifestyle, and to keep you consistent, it will send reminders. Thus allowing you to know when it's time to wind down for the evening. It does this by analysing your past three days' sleep while also checking your sleep pressure and circadian rhythm to suggest the best time, while also maximising attention for your next day.

A white background with the text "Bedtime Guidance" in large black font at the top. Below the text, on the left, is a close-up of a Samsung Galaxy Watch with an orange band displaying a green screen. The screen reads "Bedtime guidance. Try going to sleep between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM tonight." On the right, a smartphone screen shows the "Bedtime guidance" feature in more detail. The top of the screen displays "Recommended bedtime window" with the time "Tonight 10:30 PM - 11:00 PM". Below this, "Recent sleep record" shows three entries with dates (3/26, 3/27, 3/28) and corresponding sleep times. At the bottom, "Wake-up time" is set to "06:30 AM >" with a small explanatory text underneath. Both the watch and phone interfaces clearly illustrate the new bedtime guidance feature.

What is the Vascular Load feature?

While you sleep, your vascular system should fall, but if you have excessive fluctuations, it could negatively affect your cardiovascular health. The Vascular Load feature allows you to see the amount of stress on your vascular system while you sleep and allows you to receive insight into your vascular system. The Vascular Load also helps to provide insight into the lifestyle components, such as sleep.


A white background with the text "Vascular Load" in large black font at the top. Below, a Samsung Galaxy Watch with an orange band displays a black screen with the word "Higher" prominently shown, indicating a "Higher" vascular load "Today". Text below reads "Your vascular load needs improvement". To the right, a smartphone screen presents a more detailed "Vascular load" graph over time, showing data points for various dates. The current status is displayed as "Higher" with a color-coded bar ranging from "Lower" to "Higher". Accompanying text explains, "Your vascular load has been consistently above your baseline over the last 7 days. Consider monitoring your sodium and alcohol consumption. Talk to your healthcare providers to get additional insights into your cardiovascular health if you have a recent change in medication. It is also recommended that you see a medical professional." The image demonstrates the new Vascular Load monitoring feature on the Samsung Galaxy Watch, which provides insights into cardiovascular health.

What is the Running Coach feature?

The Running Coach is to help you reduce your chance of getting injuries from over-pacing or undertraining by providing you with real-time suggestions and creating a personalised exercise program based on your fitness. It accomplishes this by giving you a running level score from 1 to 10 from a 12-minute run, then it takes this data and creates a detailed training plan. 

A white background with the text "Running Coach" in large black font at the top. Below, a Samsung Galaxy Watch with an orange band is shown alongside three circular interface elements. The leftmost element, labeled "12:00", shows a map-like display with a green "Start" button and settings icon. The middle element, labeled "12:45", displays "05:45" as duration, "1.12" as distance, "10'11''" as pace, and "145" for heart rate. The rightmost and largest element shows a celebratory "Level 4" achievement with confetti. To its right, a vertical smartphone-like interface displays "Level 4 Target: 10 km in under 1h 10m". Below, it states "Check out the class that is perfect for you. Your running level" followed by a list of three "Running" activities: "1. Jogging 4.00 km, 30:00", "2. Repetitions 1.80 km, 22:12", and "3. Jogging 4.19 km, 30:00". Green checkmarks indicate completion for the first two items. The entire image showcases the Running Coach feature, from starting a run to achieving a level and viewing a personalized training plan.

What is the Antioxidant Index feature?

The Antioxidant Index give you away to see how healthy you are from what you eat by measuring your antioxidant levels, because an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking and lack of sleep, can cause increased free radicals that can damage cells in the body. Antioxidants that are found in numerous healthy foods help to remove free radicals that can help discourage chronic illness. It does this by measuring the carotenoid levels that are stored in the skin.

A white background with the text "Antioxidant Index" in large black font at the top. Below, a Samsung Galaxy Watch with an orange band displays a black screen with the word "Adequate" prominently shown, accompanied by a meter indicating a reading of "94" and "Daily avg.". A "Measure" button is visible below. To the right, a smartphone screen presents a more detailed "Antioxidant index" graph over time, showing a series of colored dots and a prominent "Adequate" status at "12:45 PM" with a reading of "94". A color-coded bar below it ranges from "Very low" to "Adequate". The text below the bar reads, "You're maintaining a good antioxidant balance. Keep eating your fruit and vegetables!" Further down, two historical entries of "Adequate" readings are listed with corresponding times (94 at 8:30 AM, 95 at 8:20 AM). The image highlights the new Antioxidant Index measurement feature available on the Samsung Galaxy Watch.
