Samsung Health is placing AI front-and-center with upcoming chatbot update

Following in the footsteps of other fitness apps like Oura, Samsung Health is adding an AI assistant for users who want to dig a little deeper into their personal stats. It’s certainly not the worst way to incorporate a chatbot.

AI, as much as it’s overused and taken the form of a buzzword in modern tech, has a place in some instances. One of those is in an enivironment where it’s able to draw very specific data and use that to expand in more detail, based on what it knows about the surrounding subject.

Samsung’s AI Health Assistant is seemingly just that – a model that pulls data from Samsung Health history to give the user more information and advice about their fitness and health goals. It can be asked how to recover from workouts, tips for better sleep, and other personal advice that it surmises from the user’s data, not generalized information.

The assistant isn’t currently available to the public, according to a report from SammyGuru. Once made public, it will likely draw data from devices like the Galaxy Watch series, Galaxy Ring, and even Galaxy phones. Of course, asking it about aspects of your health that it hasn’t tracked likely won’t be useful, so if you’re someone who doesn’t sleep with their watch on, then the AI assistant wouldn’t be an optimal choice for sleep advice.

This isn’t the first AI feature in Samsung Health. In fact, sleep and energy scoring is dependant on AI models that take data and interperet them for each individual. They aren’t foolproof, but they work well as a base. In a similar way, Samsung doesn’t expect users to use the Health Assistant for solid medical advice, simply fitness coaching.

This isn’t the first AI model built around personalized data. Oura rolled out the AI Advisor earlier this year, which is very similar to Samsung’s product. That data comes from the company’s smart rings, but it’s backed by a high-quality app that divulges information in an already nuanced way, which sets up the advisor to offer personalized advice to the user.

As a free feature, AI coaching with Samsung Health Assistant would be a popular choice, considering Samsung Health finds itself on almost every Galaxy device sold. There’s no word on when the AI assistant will become available, and if Samsung plans on charging for the feature. The company has hinted at paid features in the past.
