Samsung has launched the next generation of the S Health app, which provides users with more interactive health functions and also includes compatibility with non-Samsung Android devices. With the S Health version 4.5 you can track your everyday activities, get coaching to reach daily goals, and improve your fitness with curated programs.

Goals such as "be more active," "eat healthier," or "feel more rested" can be set, and receive tips and rewards are received. Specific programs can also be selected to help accomplish fitness milestones, from a beginner’s first 5K to an avid runner’s 10K time goal including voice guidance to keep runners at their target pace.

Built-in sensors in the Samsung Galaxy and Gear devices will help track heart rate, steps, walking, running, cycling, hiking, sports, sleep, food, water, caffeine, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and Sp02.

S Health supports connection with Samsung’s wearables and smartphones starting from the Samsung Galaxy S3 and now supports non-Samsung Android devices as well.

What’s new in S Health version 4.5:

• Dashboard provides a quick summary of daily goals and activities. Dashboard is customizable, so users can set own goals, check progress, and see latest tracked values at a glance.
• Added health tips based on personalizable user interest categories
• Specialized tracker features for select sports such as pace-setter, route selector, exercise summary and power saving mode
• Easier, simpler ways to share workouts though social networks
• Add various social badges and routes on the share screen

The S Health app and widget are available to all owners of Samsung flagship devices including Galaxy S6 with Android 5.0. The app is currently available in 150 countries and supports local languages in 80 countries.
