The data type for getting the total number of steps that a user takes.

The Samsung Health's step data can be collected from the following devices:

• The Samsung Health installed smartphone

• The connected wearable device such as Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Fit, or Galaxy Ring

For example, when a smartphone and a Galaxy Watch are used together, the Samsung Health collects step data from both devices, summarizes the step data without duplicating steps, and provides a comprehensive total number of steps representing all steps. All steps can be found in the Samsung Health's Pedometer tracker.
