Samsung announced the new One UI 9 Health app experience on June 4, promised it would begin rolling out on June 8, and then went quiet.

That silence broke at VivaTech 2026 in Paris, where Samsung used Europe’s largest startup and tech conference to formally plant its flag in the connected health space. The showcase also served as the green light for the rollout to finally begin.

Under the theme “Open Invitation to a Healthier Tomorrow,” Samsung demonstrated how its Galaxy devices, Samsung Health, and third-party integrations can form a continuous loop between everyday wellness tracking and clinical care.

What the new Samsung Health actually looks like

The app has been reorganized around five pillars: Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Vitals; each accessible from a dedicated tab on the home screen.

Two additions anchor the new home screen experience: daily wellness tips and an AI-generated Energy Score. The Energy Score is designed to give users a single, digestible number that reflects how recovered and ready they are for the day ahead, pulling from sleep quality, overnight biometric readings, and activity history.

The Vitals section consolidates heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen into a single screen and compares them against your personal resting baseline.

Heart Health Score is a composite metric that factors in sleep, stress levels, activity, and body composition data to produce a single cardiovascular wellness index.

Two more features round out the fitness side: Daily Cardio Load, which tracks workout intensity and accumulated exertion over time, and a Fitness Index, which gives users a broader picture of their physical condition and progression.

Samsung was careful not to officially name “Galaxy Watch 9” in its announcement, referring instead to “the upcoming Galaxy Watch.”

The app redesign and the Energy Score are already rolling out to One UI 9-compatible Galaxy devices. But features like Heart Health Score, Daily Cardio Load, and the full Vitals suite require Samsung’s next-generation wearable

The Galaxy Watch 9 series, along with the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, is expected to be unveiled at a Galaxy Unpacked event rumoured for July 22, 2026, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8.

Earlier this month, Samsung announced a major update for the Samsung Health app, and users are still waiting for its release. The company scheduled this rollout to kick off on June 8th, and it’s already been a week since that announcement.

Many users asked Samsung about this delay.

“I recall clearly announcing in the last press release that a major update for Samsung Health would be rolled out sequentially starting June 8th, but the speed of the global ecosystem update is quite disappointing. My app still hasn’t received any update notification and remains unchanged. You didn’t forget to press the update distribution button at headquarters, did you?” a user wrote on the Samsung Korea community.

“They said they would release it starting on the 8th, but it seems not a single user has received it yet,” asked another user.

These queries prompted a reply from a community moderator, which suggests that Samsung has yet to release the update for users, but it will come in batches. Talking about the delay, the person in charge notes that the rollout time “may vary slightly”. So, the ambiguity remains surrounding the release date.

What’s special about the new Samsung Health app update?

Samsung previously confirmed that the new Health app update will get users key health features designed for the next-gen Galaxy Watch series.

Vitals: Analyzes heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen’s overnight gain against their true resting baseline. It notifies users when data differs from the baseline, helping them understand they need more rest.

Heart Health Score: It combines sleep, stress, and activity data with body composition data to identify habits that could affect heart health in the long term.

Daily Cardio Load: This feature measures the accumulated cardiovascular strain from exercises. It calculates daily load and maximum training capacity and recommends optimal training targets and rest times to achieve fitness goals without burnout or injury.

Fitness Index: The Fitness Index analyzes heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps against users’ peers to provide personalized content and goals for consistent health improvements.

Besides these features, the Samsung Health app will also get a redesign with a connected layout focusing on five core areas: Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Vitals. There’s more to the design side that is making users anxious about this new Samsung Health app update. We hope Samsung will release it soon.
