Samsung is distributing a new Samsung Health update built around sleep and running. According to a new blog post, the update adds a Sleep Balance graph with 5 sleep indicators at a glance, lowers the Sleep Coaching data requirement to 3 days of sleep data within the past two weeks, gives Running Coach two additional tiers, and supports Strava integration.

Sleep Coaching Becomes Available Sooner

The lower threshold changes how quickly Sleep Coaching can be used. The feature originally required at least 7 days of sleep tracking data in a month. Samsung has reduced that requirement to 3 days of sleep data within the past two weeks. Once users complete setup, Sleep Coaching provides daily habit checklists and weekly recommendations to improve sleep.

Running Coach Gains Tiers and Strava Support

The running side of the update adds two additional tiers to Running Coach and includes Strava integration. The release follows a major Samsung Health update a few months ago that introduced several new tools to help users keep better track of their health.

Key Changes in the Update

  • Sleep Balance graph shows 5 sleep indicators at a glance.
  • Sleep Coaching now needs 3 days of sleep data within the past two weeks.
  • The previous Sleep Coaching requirement was at least 7 days of sleep tracking data in a month.
  • After setup, Sleep Coaching provides daily habit checklists and weekly recommendations.
  • Running Coach has two additional tiers.
  • Samsung Health supports Strava integration.

What Readers Can Watch

The practical takeaways are a shorter data requirement for Sleep Coaching, a quicker view of sleep patterns through the Sleep Balance graph, and more tiers in Running Coach. Because Samsung described the update as rolling out, users can watch for the Sleep Balance graph, the new Sleep Coaching threshold, the added Running Coach tiers, and Strava support inside Samsung Health.
