Samsung Health Data SDK

The Samsung Health application has various features to measure user’s health data. It allows the user to automatically record a range of activities with a Galaxy Watch and any connected accessories. The user can check their daily steps, heart rate, sleep, nutrition, and many more of their lifestyle metrics. Managing a healthy lifestyle is easier and simpler with Samsung Health.

Samsung Health Data SDK helps to access the health data in the Samsung Health application. An application using the SDK can read selected health data from Samsung Health’s data store. Health data in the Samsung Health application may come from connected devices, like the Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, which automatically transfers its data to a paired mobile phone’s Samsung Health application.

Samsung Health Data SDK Advantages

Samsung Health's reliable and rich data

Samsung Health saves valuable health data about the user's activities, rest, and healthcare. The data collected from the sensors on smartphones or Galaxy wearables are particularly reliable. Step count and sleep data are examples of health metrics measured by device sensors. Skin temperature and blood oxygen levels are continuously measured while the user sleeps. These data are provided with sleep data as associated data. The data from Samsung Health can help applications analyze users' health status more accurately and in-depth.

High productivity

Samsung Health Data SDK's APIs are easy to use and intuitive. By leveraging these APIs, developers can seamlessly integrate the SDK into their own health services while minimizing the effort required for implementation.

The SDK offers streamlined query for health data. Utilizing essential filters, applications can easily access the specific health data they require. We also provide powerful aggregate functions to each data type. These functions enable developers to obtain meaningful values for a particular data type, eliminating the need for complex processing across multiple sources. For example, total steps from multiple devices.

Data security and privacy

Samsung Health takes care in ensuring that the user's data remains secure at all times. Furthermore, when it comes to Samsung devices, users' data is secured by Knox. Access to each data is carefully regulated, not only through user permissions but also in line with our SDK service policies.
