Version v1.1 Release Notes

What's New

1. Data Source from Wearable Device

Integration with Samsung Privileged Health SDK

v1.1 provides interfaces for Samsung Privileged Health SDK, which can be used to measure and collect health data with Samsung Galaxy Watch.

Wearable kit module for ECG measurement UI

For certain data types collected from watches, an appropriate UI on the wearable application is required. Samsung Health Research Stack now provides a kit, allowing users to easily create wearable applications to measure such data. Currently, only UI for ECG data is supported. UIs for other data types will be supported soon.

DataSync between Samsung Galaxy Watch and Android mobile devices

Once health data is collected from the watch, the data is synchronized to the mobile device. Additionally, the data can be transmitted to the Health Stack Backend and utilized for research purposes.

How to use Samsung Privileged Health SDK

Currently, approval is required to download and use the Samsung Privileged Health SDK.
Once you download the SDK, just import it to your project!

Originally, creating a wearable app with the Samsung Privileged Health SDK required implementing a wrapper and UI. However, Samsung Health Research Stack simplified this process to minimal lines of code. You can refer to a detailed example of implementation in the Starter-App.

3. Starter-App Revised

Improved landing process via updating the Starter-App

Starter-App has become the submodule of App-SDK, resolving code duplications and preventing confusion.
