New Health Data Type Support in Samsung Health Data SDK
Samsung Developers
Samsung Health Data SDK has been updated with support for additional health data types, expanding the range of health insights available to developers building digital health apps.
This update introduces support for two new data areas generated by Samsung Health Monitor on compatible Galaxy Watch devices. It includes accessing Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN) and sleep apnea data.
Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN)
The SDK provides a new data type to retrieve Irregular Heart Rhythm events detected on Galaxy Watches by Samsung Health Monitor application. While the app itself can notify users when potential irregular rhythms are detected, thanks to Samsung Health Data SDK you can now access history record of all these events. Having such data, you could easily observe heart rhythm patterns and elevate monitoring of your health condition.
Sleep apnea data
Support has also been added for sleep apnea data reported by Samsung Health Monitor. This feature analyzes overnight data collected across multiple nights to assess signs associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Developers can query these results through the SDK to incorporate sleep health insights into their apps.
These data types are intended for informational and integration purposes only and are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
With these additions, developers can leverage the Samsung Health Data SDK’s existing APIs for data reading and change queries to work with a broader set of cardiovascular and sleep health data, enabling richer healthcare experiences.
You’ll find these new features in Samsung Health Data SDK. Refer to Release Note for more information.
