Samsung Health SDK suite opens new possibilities for researchers and developers | Infinium-tech

Samsung has announced its Samsung Health SDK suite, a comprehensive solution for delivering advanced data from Galaxy wearables to researchers and developers around the world. The SDK is divided into four categories and is now available to Samsung partners, developers, and researchers.

The Sensor SDK unlocks advanced bioactive sensor algorithms from the Galaxy Watch series providing heart rate, skin temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The SDK will also provide access to photoplethysmogram (PPG) infrared (IR) and red LED sensor data for the first time.

The Data SDK opens up health metrics collected by the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Ring, smartphones, and third-party devices inside the Samsung Health app. It will give developers access to sleep, exercise, blood pressure, food intake, and blood sugar levels. Samsung says the feature is going live next month and will allow developers to launch new health services.

The Accessory SDK will allow integration between Samsung smart devices and third-party health systems such as heart rate monitors, blood pressure monitors, bike sensors, and even glucose monitors. Users will be able to view data from third-party devices inside the Samsung Health app without having to download and activate the third-party app.

Research Stack is Samsung’s open-source project that aims to bring a “versatile research environment” by providing a web portal and backend services to support health research development. Samsung says the upcoming 2.0 version will integrate data from sensors and data SDKs.
