Samsung’s new watch will monitor family health

Samsung Health, the popular health and fitness tracking application for Galaxy phones, is preparing to take a new step in family health monitoring. According to a report from Android Authority, Samsung is working on a feature that will allow users to share their health data with others. This feature can make it easier for parents or caregivers to keep track of the health of children or elderly relatives.

Although this type of feature raises privacy concerns, Samsung is taking a careful approach on this issue. The report states that users will have detailed control over what data is shared and can stop sharing at any time. It is also stated that various security measures have been taken to ensure that only authorized users can access this information.

According to the screenshots included in the report, children or elderly users will need to use a Galaxy phone to participate in data sharing. This aims to further integrate users into the Samsung ecosystem. Explicit consent of the parent or guardian will be required for sharing children’s health data. Additionally, if data sharing or data access is inactive for 90 days, sharing will automatically stop and shared data will be deleted.

It is stated that this new feature will not be limited to the new Galaxy Ring or Galaxy Watch, and that Samsung will first bring this feature to newer smart watch models and then offer it to older Galaxy Watch models.

This feature makes Samsung Health a more comprehensive health management platform. It is not yet clear how the data is shared and what warnings or information users will receive based on this sharing. However, it is clear that Samsung is increasing its interest in the health and wellness space.

This innovation will allow users to manage their health data more effectively and monitor the health status of their family members more closely. This move by Samsung can be considered an important step in the integration of health and technology.
