Samsung Electronics is upgrading an integrated health solution for runners by combining 14 years of Samsung Health data with precision sensors in the Galaxy Watch. The platform goes beyond basic activity logging to cover posture analysis, heart rate tracking and recovery management, offering metrics used by elite marathon runners in an accessible way. The company also runs a Running Coach service that assigns running levels and recommends training programs, alongside daily indicators such as sleep, mental health and nutrition.

Samsung Electronics said on Wednesday it became the first in the world to prove through a joint clinical study with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital that a Galaxy Watch can predict vasovagal syncope at an early stage. The results were published in the latest issue of European Heart Journal-Digital Health, a digital health journal published by the European Society of Cardiology. The study analysed real-time heart rate variability data collected by the Galaxy Watch6 and predicted signs of syncope about 5 minutes in advance with 84.6 percent accuracy.
