Samsung Health SDK

Figure 1: Samsung Digital Health service

Samsung Health SDK is composed of Health Data and Health Service.

Health Data

Health Data has the following features:

  • Health Data Store

    Samsung Health SDK keeps users' health data secured. The health data store handles the service connection. It helps to read Samsung Health’s data or write the partner’s health data to Samsung Health.

  • Health Data Type

    It provides useful predefined types and custom data types. Each data type is designed to contain a given health data’s information fully with the data’s characteristics. It is used to access the health data store’s data.

  • Permissions and User Controls

    The user’s health data are sensitive information. Handling data with the SDK is only available with the user’s consent. Health Data provides a unified user interface to make the users control the data sharing settings easily for each data type.

Health Service

Health Service has the following features:

  • Launching Samsung Health Tracker

    The tracker manager helps to launch a specific Samsung Health’s tracker like "Steps" or "Food". The app can select its wanted tracker that Samsung Health supports. The launched tracker can be used to check the latest health data or save a new data though Samsung Health. It is a very helpful feature to add new data conveniently in a case that an app wants to implement a data insertion feature separately. Recorded data through the Samsung Health’s tracker are saved in Samsung Health.

  • Posting Partner App’s Tracker Tile

    The tracker tile manager enables an app to define and post its tracker tile on Samsung Health. The app’s tracker tile can be visualized with the app icon, relevant health data, and a button with an action in three types of the tile form. A posted tracker tile would be displayed on the main screen of Samsung Health. The user can select the app’s tile enabling in Samsung Health > Manage items.

FAQ

  • Q01 Common | What are the benefits of Samsung Health SDK?
    A

    Samsung Health app is a most popular health app and has more than 50 million of monthly active users. It works not only on Samsung smartphones but also non-Samsung phones if the device supports Android KitKat or above. It consist a big ecosystem including various health apps and connected devices.

    Samsung Health SDK enables your app to manage the user’s health data with the unified interface by connecting to Samsung Health app. You can have more enhanced chances with a partnership of Samsung Health.

  • Q02 Common | I know the SDK needs Samsung Health installation. Can Samsung Health be installed to all phones? If not, how can I know the Samsung Health’s availability on the device?
    A

    Even though Samsung Health is installed in Android smartphones with KitKat or above including Samsung and non-Samsung smartphones, some phones cannot support Samsung Health. Its check code needs to be added to prevent a relevant situation.

    The Health Data 1.1.0 or above has a solution to check for it through HealthConnectionErrorResult.hasResolution(). If the app meets both following error cases, it includes the meaning that the device is not available for Samsung Health.

      • HealthDataStore.connectService() gives a failure event.
      • HealthConnectionErrorResult.hasResolution() returns false.

    See an example for failure exception handling.

  • Q03 Health Data | Can I see each data type’ all properties of at a time?
    A

    All data type interfaces extend the HealthConstants.Common interface basically. Some data types extend HealthConstants.DiscreteMeasurement and others extend HealthConstants.SessionMeasurement depending on whether the end measured time exists.

    For example, HealthConstants.Sleep extends:

    • HealthConstants.Common
    • HealthConstants.SessionMeasurement

    You can set HealthConstants.Sleep’s following properties including its own ones.

    • HealthConstants.Common.DEVICE_UUID
    • HealthConstants.SessionMeasurement.START_TIME
    • HealthConstants.SessionMeasurement.END_TIME

    See the "Properties" description of each data type interface in API Reference for more information.

    Sleep data can be set as the example shown below.

    
public class HealthDataExample {

    // The state of connection
    private HealthDataStore mStore;

    private void insertSleepData(long start, long end, long offset) {

        HealthDevice myDevice = new HealthDeviceManager(mStore).getLocalDevice();
        HealthData data = new HealthData();
        data.setSourceDevice(myDevice.getUuid());

        // Fills all mandatory properties out
        data.putLong(HealthConstants.Sleep.START_TIME, start);
        data.putFloat(HealthConstants.Sleep.END_TIME, end);
        data.putLong(HealthConstants.Sleep.TIME_OFFSET, offset);

        HealthDataResolver resolver = new HealthDataResolver(mStore, null);
        HealthDataResolver.InsertRequest insRequest = new HealthDataResolver.InsertRequest.Builder()
            .setDataType(HealthConstants.Sleep.HEALTH_DATA_TYPE)
            .build();
        // Do something
    }
}

  • Q04 Health Data | The result for reading the user’s step count seems much more than I expect after linking an accessory that provides step count data. How can I get the user’s valid step count rightly?
    A

    You can get each source device’s step count data through HealthConstants.StepCount. But handling all use cases for the phone device and linked multi-accessory is not easy with it because the phone device and accessory can provides step count data at the same time or not depending on how many devices are carried by the user.

    HealthConstants.StepCountis useful to get the user’s real-time step count in the phone that Samsung Health is installed.

    com.samsung.shealth.step_daily_trend

    Samsung Health provides a custom data type for the user’s daily step count summary data with:

    A summarized step count data is created at about 00:00:00 UTC every day with step_daily_trend and updated every minute until the next day comes.

    "source_type" of "com.samsung.shealth.step_daily_trend" " is a very useful property to get the user’s valid step count easily under the multi-accessory environment. It indicates the kind of data sources like the wearable device, the activity tracker, or all. It’s different with the data’s source device from HealthConstant.Common.DEVICE_UUID..

    See its available values in API Reference. The most used value is -2. It gets the user’s valid step count without duplicated steps in multi-devices including partner apps, local device, wearable accessories, and activity trackers. You can query it as the following example.

    
// The state of connection
private HealthDataStore mStore;

public void readDailyStepCountData() {
    // Suppose that the required permission has been acquired already

    // Create a filter for all source types
    Filter filter = Filter.eq("source_type", -2);

    ReadRequest request = new ReadRequest.Builder()
        // Set the StepCount data type to aggregate data
        .setDataType("com.samsung.shealth.step_daily_trend")
        // Set the source type with a filter
        .setFilter(filter)
        // Set the sort order
        .setSort("day_time", HealthDataResolver.SortOrder.DESC)
        // Build
        .build();

     HealthDataResolver resolver = new HealthDataResolver(mStore, null);

     try {
         resolver.read(request).setResultListener(mStepCountListener);
     } catch (Exception e) {
         Log.e(MainActivity.APP_TAG, e.getClass().getName() + " - " + e.getMessage());
     }
}

private final HealthResultHolder.ResultListener<ReadResult> mStepCountListener =
    new HealthResultHolder.ResultListener<ReadResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onResult(ReadResult result) {
            Cursor c = null;

            try {
                c = result.getResultCursor();
                if (c != null) {
                    while(c.moveToNext()) {

                        long dayTime = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex("day_time"));
                        int stepCount = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("count"));

                        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
                        Log.d(APP_TAG, dateFormat.format(dayTime));
                        Log.d(APP_TAG, "Step Count: " + stepCount);
                    }
                } else {
                    Log.d(APP_TAG, "The cursor is null.");
                }
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
                Log.e(APP_TAG, e.getClass().getName() + " - " + e.getMessage());
            }
            finally {
                if (c != null) {
                    c.close();
                }
            }
        }
    };

  • Q05 Health Data | The inserted health data’s time looks different. How can I solve this problem?
    A

    If new data is inserted to the health data store, CREATED_TIME, UPDATED_TIME of HealthConstants.Common are assigned by the system automatically. So you don’t need to set them separately. Data’s START_TIME or END_TIME indicates its UTC measurement time in milliseconds. Be careful not to set START_TIME or END_TIME as the device’s current local time.

    TIME_OFFSET is indicated by the time zone and daylight saving time in milliseconds and it helps in showing the health data’s measured time properly in the device. The following example shows getting the current device’s TIME_OFFSET.

    
import java.util.TimeZone;

 public class HeathDataExample {

     long getTimeOffset(long intakeTime) {
         return TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset(intakeTime);
     }
 }

  • Q06 Health Data | It looks that some data are missed when I read data even though a query condition looks right. Why is it?
    A

    TIME_OFFSET includes time zone and daylight saving time.

    Let’s think about a business trip. This example is the time zone difference but it can be applied to the daylight saving time also. The daylight saving time can be matched with the time difference as one hour.

    ["Real walking" in the figure]

    It shows the user scenario as following user’s action. The navy-blue colored data are the user’s measured health data in Seoul. The sky-blue colored data indicates the measured data in San Francisco (SF). There is time difference between the navy-blue and sky-blue. Each data is saved with the measured UTC time and TIME_OFFSET.

    ["Query result" in the figure]

    The data in Samsung Health are saved as the "Query result" figure

    If your query uses AggregateRequest, please refer to the following example.

      • This example shows hourly step count on a day.
      • 'startOfTheday' param of readStepCountBinning() indicates the wanted day’s UTC 00:00.
      • TIME_OFFSET is set with setTimeGroup().
      • The filter for time is set as considering the day’s available all time period.
      • The specific day’s minimum time caused by the time difference is "UTC 00:00 – 12 hours".
      • The specific day’s maximum time caused by the time difference is "UTC 24:00 + 14 hours". 

    
private void readStepCountBinning(final long startOfTheDay, String deviceUuid) {
    // For gathering data from UTC 00:00-12h ~ UTC 24:00+14h
    Filter filter = Filter.and(Filter.greaterThanEquals(StepCount.START_TIME, startOfTheDay - 12 * ONE_HOUR),
                               Filter.lessThan(StepCount.START_TIME, startOfTheDay + 38 * ONE_HOUR),
                               Filter.eq(StepCount.DEVICE_UUID, deviceUuid));

    // Get one hour binning data of the particular day and device
    AggregateRequest request = new AggregateRequest.Builder()
        .setDataType(StepCount.HEALTH_DATA_TYPE)
        .addFunction(AggregateFunction.SUM, StepCount.COUNT, "count")
        .setTimeGroup(TimeGroupUnit.HOURLY, 1, StepCount.START_TIME, StepCount.TIME_OFFSET, "binning_time")
        .setFilter(filter)
        .setSort("binning_time", SortOrder.ASC)
        .build();

    try {
        mResolver.aggregate(request).setResultListener(new HealthResultHolder.ResultListener<AggregateResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onResult(AggregateResult result) {
                List <Integer> binningCountList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                Cursor c = null;
                try {
                    c = result.getResultCursor();
                    if (c != null) {
                        while (c.moveToNext()) {
                            String binningTime = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("binning_time"));
                            int binningCount = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("count"));
                            // ... Use these hourly counts
                        }
                    }
                } finally { /* Close the cursor */ }
                // ... Display binningCountList as a chart for the specified day's detail
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception e) { /* Handle exceptions */ }
}

    Its result is retrieved as the following table.
    Your wanted data are blued painted rows in the table.
    Even the white colored rows are not used in the result, the time filter (from -12 hour to +14 hours) setting is required still.
    (We’re planning the advanced query considering TIME_OFFSET.)

    TIME_OFFSET
    binning_time count
    "2016-11-13 12" 523
    ... ...
    "2016-11-13 23" 720
    "2016-11-14 00" 256
    "2016-11-14 01" 82
    "2016-11-13 12" 523
    ... ...
    "2016-11-14 23" 0
    "2016-11-15 13" 0

    For ReadRequest query, see the following example.
      • The time filter setting is same with AggregateRequest.
      • 'startOfTheday' param of readStepCountBinning() indicates the wanted day’s UTC 00:00.
      • Only today’s data are used in the result. 

    
private void readStepCountBinning(final long startOfTheDay, String deviceUuid) {
    // For reading data from UTC 00:00-12h ~ UTC 24:00+14h
    Filter filter = Filter.and(Filter.greaterThanEquals(StepCount.START_TIME, startOfTheDay - 12 * ONE_HOUR),
                               Filter.lessThan(StepCount.START_TIME, startOfTheDay + 38 * ONE_HOUR),
                               Filter.eq(StepCount.DEVICE_UUID, deviceUuid));

    // Get all records of the particular day and device
    ReadRequest request = new ReadRequest.Builder()
        .setDataType(StepCount.HEALTH_DATA_TYPE)
        .setProperties(new String[] {StepCount.START_TIME, StepCount.TIME_OFFSET, StepCount.COUNT})
        .setFilter(filter)
        .setSort(StepCount.START_TIME, SortOrder.ASC)
        .build();

    try {
        mResolver.read(request).setResultListener(new HealthResultHolder.ResultListener<ReadResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onResult(ReadResult result) {
                List<Integer> binningCountList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                Cursor c = null;
                try {
                    c = result.getResultCursor();
                    if (c != null) {
                        while (c.moveToNext()) {
                            long localTime = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(StepCount.START_TIME));
                            localTime += c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(StepCount.TIME_OFFSET));
                            if (localTime >= startOfTheDay && localTime < startOfTheDay + 24 * ONE_HOUR) {
                                // ... Use this data point
                            } // Ignore this data point, otherwise
                        }
                    }
                } finally { /* Close the cursor */ }
                // ... Display binningCountList as a chart for the specified day's detail
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception e) { /* Handle exceptions */ }
}

  • Q07 Health Service | My tracker is not shown on the Samsung Health’s main screen right after subscribing it.
    A

    TrackerTileManager.post() should be called in the implemented TrackerEventListener.onSubscribed() to post your tracker tile.

    
@Override
      public void onSubscribed(Context context, String trackerId) {
          // User changed the subscription state of your tracker to subscribe.

          // Post your tracker tile here to show it on the Samsung Health's main screen
          // by calling TrackerTileManager.post().
          // Use TRACKER_TILE_TYPE_1 if there is no data yet.

    3. 2.3

      Licensee must ensure that the SAMSUNG copyright disclaimers and other proprietary notices that appear in the SDK and Documentation are retained and reproduced in full in all copies of the SDK and Documentation that Licensee makes as permitted under this Agreement.

    5. 2.5

      Licensee must not exploit the SDK in any unauthorized way, including but not limited to, by way of trespass or burdening network capacity. Any attempt to do so constitutes a violation of the rights of SAMSUNG and licensors of the SDK.

Licensee acknowledges that SAMSUNG has no obligation, whether express or implied, to announce or make available any Updates. Where an Update is made available, such Update may have APIs, features, services and/or functionality that are different from those found in the SDK licensed under this Agreement.

    9. 2.9

      From time to time during the Term, SAMSUNG may provide Licensee with test versions of the SDK.

      2. (b) If an Application captures, collects or records any form of user or device data, images, pictures or voice data (collectively "Recordings"), or processes, maintains, uploads, syncs, or transmits any form of user data, content or information (collectively "Transmissions"), such Recordings and Transmissions must comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to privacy laws) as well as any SAMSUNG’s internal policies or requirements in relation to such matters (including but not limited to any notice or consent requirements). In particular, Licensee must ensure that a reasonably distinctive and conspicuous visual indication that a Recording is taking place is displayed to the user as part of the Application.
      3. (c) Licensee will be solely responsible for any and all claims and/or damages arising from or related to the Application installing or launching other executable code itself through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise except as authorized by SAMSUNG in writing in advance. Licensee will be solely responsible for any and all claims and/or damages arising from or related to the download or use of interpreted code in any Application other than the code that is interpreted and run by SAMSUNG's Published APIs and built-in interpreters except as authorized otherwise by SAMSUNG in advance in writing.
      4. (d) Applications must comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction in which the Applications are offered or made available) and SAMSUNG’s internal policies and regulations. Especially, in respect of any Application that uses the Health package, Licensee shall comply with any and all of SAMSUNG’s registration processes. Before Applications are available to customer, end users or the public, Licensee shall obtain all required and necessary permissions and/or approvals from relevant government authorities. In addition, in respect of any Application that may collect, transmit, maintain, process, share, disclose or otherwise use personal information, location information, health information or other data that relates to a user ("User Information Handling"), Licensee shall comply, and the Application must be compliant, with all applicable privacy and data collection laws and regulations with respect to such User Information Handling.

(e) Without limiting Licensee’s obligations under paragraph (f), Licensee must ensure that any Application that offers health information or location information based services or functionality notifies and obtains consent from an individual before the individual’s health or location data is collected, transmitted or otherwise used by the Application. In addition, Applications that use health information based APIs shall comply with SAMSUNG’s registration process.
      6. (f) Applications that use location-based APIs for real-time route guidance, MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY EMERGENCY OR LIFE SAVING PURPOSES DUE TO ITS INACCURACY and Licensee must have an end user license agreement in relation to such Applications that includes the following notice: "REAL TIME LOCATION DATA ACCESSED VIA THIS APPLICATION MAY BE INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE.

Applications may not provide services for which the user's consent has been denied or withdrawn.
      8. (h) If an Application includes any Third Party Software, Licensee must comply with all licensing terms applicable to such Third Party Software. However, Licensee shall separate the portion of the Third Party Software from the portion of the SDK in Licensee’s Application and shall not cause the portion of the SDK in Licensee’s Application, any derivative works thereof, and/or SAMSUNG’s Confidential Information to be subject to the licensing terms applicable to such Third Party Software (e.g., public disclosure, public distribution). Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SAMSUNG, its distributors and its customers from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and liabilities arising out of or in relation to the use of Third Party Software.
      9. (i) Applications may be rejected if they contain content or materials of any kind (including, but not limited to, text, graphics, images, photographs, sounds, etc.) that SAMSUNG reasonably determines to be objectionable (for example, materials that may be considered obscene, pornographic or defamatory).
      10. (j) Prior to distribution, public release or public demonstration of the Application, Licensee shall obtain prior key signing for the Application from SAMSUNG.

    2. 5.2

      Licensee must protect Confidential Information using a degree of care that is no less than that which Licensee uses to protect Licensee’s own confidential information of the same or similar importance (and in any event, no less than a reasonable degree of care).
