Samsung Health Data SDK

Samsung Health app offers various features to measure user’s health data. It enables the user to automatically record a range of activities with a Galaxy Watch and any connected accessories. This includes checking daily steps, heart rate, sleep, nutrition, and many other lifestyle metrics.

Samsung Health Data SDK enables access to health data in Samsung Health app. An app using the SDK can access selected health data of the Samsung Health’s data store. Health data in the Samsung Health app can also be collected from connected devices, like the Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, which automatically transfers its data to a paired mobile phone’s Samsung Health app.

Samsung Health Data SDK advantages

Reliable and rich data

Samsung Health saves valuable health data about users' activities, rest, and healthcare and helps analyze user`s health more accurately and extensively. The data collected from the sensors on smartphones or Galaxy wearables is 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.

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. By utilizing essential filters, apps 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 makes sure that data remains secure at all times. Samsung devices have an additional layer of data security, provided by Knox. Access to each data is carefully regulated, not only through user permissions but also in line with our SDK service policies.
