Samsung Launches AI Health Assistant Beta for US Users Ahead of July 23 Unpacked

Eligible US users can now access Samsung’s Health Assistant in beta inside Samsung Health, letting them query personal data and receive lifestyle guidance across sleep, activity, nutrition, mindfulness and vitals.
The opt-in chatbot pulls signals from a phone, Galaxy Watch and smart ring, then links them with Samsung’s broader data engine — including calendar and smart-home data — to spot patterns such as late-night light use affecting sleep.
Samsung said physician-validated recommendations are meant to explain health data, not diagnose conditions, offer medical advice or suggest treatments.
Ahead of Wednesday’s Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung also outlined new health tools including overnight heart-rate and blood-oxygen monitoring, plus Energy Score, Heart Health Score and a Fitness Index.
The rollout expands Samsung’s push into AI health services and follows its Xealth acquisition, which supports a longer-term plan to connect wearable data with physicians between clinic visits.
