Previously, Samsung had integrated S Health into devices like Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy S5... Now, on the Galaxy Note 4, it has been supplemented with new features for enhanced health tracking. Let's delve into these functionalities.
1. Recording and Monitoring Exercise Progress
S Health automatically provides you with information about your daily exercise, including energy expended, calories burned, and distance covered. Set limits to avoid exceeding your maximum heart rate during workouts, and it can even play music for relaxation during exercise.
2. Step Counting and Caloric Expenditure
This feature tracks your progress, extending your daily journey slightly. Daily synthesized data records how many steps you've taken and the energy expended, contributing to prolonged flexibility and enhanced overall well-being until you achieve the optimal health rhythm.
3. Heart Rate Monitoring
On the back of the Galaxy Note 4, Samsung has placed a heart rate sensor. Simply place your finger close to the sensor under the camera for about 5-10 seconds, and you'll know your heart rate. The app calculates and provides users with fast and accurate results, offering advice on rest and proper health care.
4. SpO2 (Oxygen Saturation) - Measuring Blood Oxygen Level
Samsung recently added this feature to the S Health app for measuring blood oxygen levels. Ensure your fingertip is positioned between the sensor without exerting too much pressure. Keep your finger stable for accurate results.
5. Managing Caloric Intake
Access a nutrition and dietary expert—extremely beneficial for those practicing dietary restrictions.
6. Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculation
This is also a new feature to measure the correlation between the user's height and weight for a reasonable comparison, indicating how much height or weight is needed to achieve balance.
7. Stress Level Check
This feature assesses stress levels by analyzing heart rate variability. The measurement takes longer than regular heart rate checks; you need to keep your hand steady and stay silent. It encourages proactive health management, preventing the body from falling into an overly fatigued state.
8. UV Radiation Intensity Measurement
This is a feature exclusive to the Galaxy Note 4. By tilting the back of the device at an angle to the sunlight, you can measure the intensity of ultraviolet rays. It assesses the harm to the skin and body with 5 modes: Low, Medium, High, Very High, and Extreme, helping prevent skin cancer and other damages.
Above are all the features that the S Health app brings to the Galaxy Note 4. Additionally, consider downloading apps with similar functionalities, such as Daily Ab Workout for Android and Step Counter for Android.
