Samsung Adds 5-Signal Vitals System to Galaxy Watch, Replacing Vascular Load With Heart Health Score

Summary
Samsung’s latest Samsung Health update turns Galaxy Watch into a more proactive health tool by adding a Vitals feature that analyzes five overnight bio-signals against each user’s baseline.
Those signals—heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature and blood oxygen—are meant to flag meaningful changes and guide recovery, exercise and longer-term wellness decisions.
Samsung also replaced Vascular Load with a daily Heart Health Score that combines sleep, stress, activity and body composition, while adding Daily Cardio Load and a Fitness Index based on measures including VO2 max and steps.
A redesigned home screen now groups data under Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness and Vitals, and a new Hearing Health tool tracks ambient noise exposure.
The release underscores a broader wearable shift from passive activity tracking toward personalized interpretation of biometric and environmental data.
