The Samsung Health service is getting a built-in AI-powered personal health assistant. The new Samsung Health Assistant is launching now in beta for eligible people in the US. It aims to address a common problem in digital health today: health data and metrics are often scattered across multiple apps and devices, leaving you with plenty of numbers but not enough clarity on how to interpret them for your health routine. Samsung says the Health Assistant connects information from Samsung Health’s five wellness pillars — sleep, activity, nutrition, mindfulness and vitals — and translates that data into explanations and tailored recommendations. Samsung says that the recommendations are validated by physicians and certified health coaches, and supported by Samsung Health’s knowledge base to help identify patterns and signals you might otherwise miss. The market for AI health assistants and chatbots has become saturated with products promising “personalized” insights, like ChatGPT Health and Amazon’s Health AI tool.
