Pak also explained how Health can also work in tandem with Samsung's Food app, so that if you're dieting and include that information in Health, its food app can recommend recipes based on your dietary goals.
You'll also be able to receive an AI-based summary of your nutritional trends to understand what you're following or what you might be missing in your diet.
In addition to the Health update, Pak also revealed that it is working closely with Dexcom, the maker of one of the most popular blood sugar monitoring devices, to improve integration with Samsung Health. He also mentions collaborating with other health tech brands, including Withings, Beurer, Renpho, Core and Technogym, to do something similar.
According to Wareable, there's more to come too, with Samsung apparently set to launch a Symptom Radar, which looks a lot like Oura's recently launched and similarly named Symptom Radar feature that it introduced for its Smart Ring.
It's unclear when the Health app update will be fully rolled out, but we expect it to happen at some point this year and will give current Samsung smartwatches and smart rings something to look forward to until Samsung starts teasing a Galaxy Ring 2 or Galaxy Watch 8.
