LAS VEGAS – Samsung showcased important advancements in health and wellness technology at World Sleep 2025, focusing on comprehensive sleep analysis and proactive health management with teh new Watch8 Series. The innovations aim to empower users with deeper insights into their well-being and facilitate healthier lifestyles.

These additions complement existing tools for stress management, including high stress notifications, respiratory training, and energy vote summaries. Samsung’s commitment centers on transforming health data into actionable insights, leveraging AI, advanced sensor technology, and a holistic health ecosystem.
Samsung’s advancements address the growing need for accessible health monitoring.According to the National Sleep Foundation, understanding individual sleep needs is crucial for overall health[1]. The Watch8 Series builds on this by analyzing sleep patterns and sleep pressure over three days[2]. A new sleep apnea feature, a software-based medical submission (OTC), is available on Galaxy Watch and Galaxy smartphones, designed to detect moderate to severe sleep apnea in adults 22 years or older during a two-day inspection period. However, Samsung emphasizes this feature is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment.
Further enhancing personalized health tracking, the Watch8 Series’ Antioxidant Index requires users to place a finger on the watch’s sensor for five seconds, with the thumb recommended for optimal accuracy[5]. The Running Coach program requires an initial running level assessment to tailor training plans[6]. Samsung states these capabilities reflect its dedication to developing solutions that allow consumers to proactively manage their health daily.
