[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Samsung Electronics announced on the 28th that it has recently launched the ‘Samsung Health’ application for smart TVs in countries including Korea, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Samsung Electronics explained that this allows users to enjoy the Samsung Health service, which was previously only available on mobile devices, on a large screen through 2020 Samsung smart TVs, including QLED TVs.

The Samsung Health app for smart TVs recommends home training videos such as aerobic exercise, stretching, strength training, and yoga according to the difficulty level set by the user in advance, and also provides mental health care content to assist with meditation and sleep.

In particular, it offers a variety of healthcare content for free in collaboration with ▲ ‘Calm,’ the No. 1 app in the sleep and meditation category ▲ ‘300fit,’ which provides exercise know-how videos from famous domestic and international sports trainers ▲ the home fitness YouTube channel ‘WassupGuys’ ▲ the integrated health management platform ‘SHP (Smart Healthcare Pal)’ ▲ and the ‘Healthy Home Training Lab.’

The Samsung Health TV app includes a ‘Routines’ feature that notifies users when it is time to exercise and recommends appropriate workouts while watching TV if they set their preferred exercises and times. There is also a ‘Challenge’ program where users with Samsung Health accounts can compete in record battles with others.

Additionally, users can check information such as step count, sleep, and calorie consumption recorded on Samsung Health via mobile devices on the TV app’s dashboard in a large format, and conversely, exercise records made using the TV app can be viewed on mobile devices.

Lee Won-jin, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business, said, “Interest in home training is increasing worldwide recently. We have launched the TV app so that consumers can enjoy healthcare content on a high-definition large screen.”
