Samsung Health Updates Sleep and Running Coaching for Personalized Care
Sleep coaching now available with as few as three days of data
Running coach expanded to 12 levels
Samsung Electronics has significantly enhanced the personalized sleep and running coaching features of its health management application, Samsung Health. The key changes include lowering the barrier to starting a sleep coaching program and dividing running training into 12 levels.
Samsung Electronics announced on October 14 that it had updated its health coaching features to help users understand their body rhythms and fitness levels and put that knowledge into practice in their daily lives.
Sleep coaching has been improved to encourage changes in users' daily habits, rather than simply analyzing how they slept the previous night. The minimum data required to start sleep coaching has been eased from "seven days in a month" to "at least three days within the past two weeks."
Based on users' sleep patterns identified through a questionnaire and three days of sleep records, the service creates a personalized coaching program lasting four to eight weeks and suggests new sleep habits each week, step by step. It has also introduced a "Sleep Balance" graph that lets users check their sleep at a glance. The graph displays five key indicators on one screen: actual sleep duration, sleep regularity, time spent awake during sleep, sleep satisfaction, and energy score.
The running coach feature has expanded its coaching levels from 10 to 12 and added personalized training programs for users at higher levels. Samsung has also enhanced the feature that lets users share running data recorded in Samsung Health on various social networking services (SNS).
