Samsung Leads Sleep Technology with Galaxy Ring Expansion, Health App Update
Samsung is also updating the Samsung Health app to provide advanced features that help you achieve a good night's sleep, going beyond analysing sleep patterns from the previous night. These updates include the Sleep environment report, sleep time guidance, and mindfulness tracker. With this expansion, Samsung is reaffirming its commitment to improving sleep health through innovative technology, ensuring more people can benefit from its cutting-edge solutions.
Galaxy Ring, built for comfort with a lightweight fit and extended battery life, simplifies everyday wellness with a particular emphasis on sleep. Since its global launch in July 2024, Galaxy Ring has expanded to 38 markets, including Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Türkiye, UAE, UK and USA.

In addition to the Galaxy Ring expansion, new updates to the Samsung Health app will provide more personalised and comprehensive health capabilities, supporting optimal sleep and goals for a healthier daily life.
Together with SmartThings, Samsung Health analyses your sleep environment, assessing factors such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and light intensity in the room. In the morning, you will receive a Sleep environment report advising how to optimise the conditions of your surroundings. You can also leverage SmartThings to automatically adjust room settings to create the ideal sleep environment when you fall asleep, conveniently supporting a restful night's sleep.
Sleep time guidance suggests optimal bedtime tailored to unique sleep patterns, habits, and conditions. Going beyond sleep analysis, Samsung Health provides actionable insights for better sleep, recommending the most suitable sleep times based on a combination of your sleep quality and daily routines.
The new mindfulness tracker empowers you to improve your mental health and achieve a better night's sleep. You can monitor your moods and follow Samsung Health's guides for breathing exercises and meditations, all easily accessible within a single tracker.
New sizes of Galaxy Ring will begin to roll out for purchase starting January 22. Find your perfect fit at home with a free sizing kit from Samsung.com or visit a nearby Samsung store.

Samsung backs 'connected care' to mend broken health systems
Samsung Electronics is betting that digital and connected care will be able to mend broken healthcare systems as it seeks to expand its reach in a category beyond its core businesses. The South Korean company, in the lead-up to its Unpacked event last week, announced its acquisition of Xealth, a Seattle-based provider of digital health tools, for an undisclosed amount. The move, Samsung says, will help its connected care ambitions and help to bridge a 'holistic approach to preventive care to as many people as possible'. Scaling connected care is expected to be the next step in the future of health that would help fix broken healthcare systems, industry executives said at a forum on the sidelines of Unpacked. 'Health care is broken and part of the main reason it's broken is … [that] the incentives are misaligned. We know this from our everyday habits; if we are incentivising our kids to do the right things, they will do more of the right things,' Dr Rasu Shrestha, chief innovation and commercialisation officer of Charlotte-based health care provider Advocate Health, said at the forum. 'But if the incentives are misaligned, then the entire system starts to fall apart. So the opportunity here is … a connected ecosystem of devices and data really going after the dignity of those patients and consumers in a much more connected way.' Research suggests that while conservative care works, it is inconvenient, hard to access and expensive, said Jim Pursley, president of Hinge Health, a Chicago-based software developer. But technology can address this. 'The [good] thing with digital health in general is we've operated historically independent of institutional health care, independent of an advocate,' he said. Mr Pursley mentioned how tech has transformed the banking industry, with lenders able to provide on-demand services through devices, most notably through smartphone apps. 'The next decade of innovation is … to show that we can integrate with traditional in-person care to create a unified experience for patients, like banking,' he added. Global investments in the digital health sector hit more than $25 billion last year, a 5.5 per cent annual rise and reversing two consecutive years of a funding drop, according to data from Galen Growth, a Singapore-based industry tracker. Samsung is focusing on health and the division has been active in research and development, in addition to signing partnerships and acquisitions to expand its reach. It is linking up with start-ups to develop health services on its Galaxy smartphones and smartwatches. Samsung's AI push will help its strategy, and further expanding into health care will continue to remain a priority, said Dr Hon Pak, head of Samsung's digital health unit. 'I do feel that in 10 years, We're finally going to get to a point where health care is not about surviving – it's about thriving [using technology],' added Mr Pursley. 400 million Galaxy devices in 2025 Meanwhile, Samsung's plan to distribute 400 million Galaxy devices in 2025 is expected to be boosted by a push into ambient AI, a separate forum heard at Unpacked. That would double the current reach of Galaxy devices, TM Roh, head of Samsung's mobile division, said at the event. Ambient AI, which combines data analysis, machine learning, data analytics and natural language processing with humanlike behaviour, aims to provide personalised experiences. In health care, that can translate to improved patient care, operational efficiency and information extraction, according to the Morsani College of Medicine. 'Some see AI as the start of a 'post smartphone' era, but we see it differently: the smartphone is becoming even more central to an ambient AI experience,' said Jisun Park, a corporate executive vice president at Samsung. In addition, AI becoming more personalised needs a commitment to protect user information, and ambient AI's privacy, performance and personalisation 'go hand in hand, [as] they are not competing priorities, but co-equal standards', added Vinesh Sukumar, vice president of product management at US chipmaker Qualcomm Technology.
