Samsung Health App Suggests

[Tinker806]

Just some suggestions for future updates:

Food log: allow us to scan barcodes, instead of looking up the item.

Water log: allow us to put our own ounces in, not just number of glasses.

 -my water bottle is 20 oz which is inbetween the glasses

Add log: weight management log

 -adding this allows us to see our deficit when it comes to calories for maintaining, losing and gaining.

I think that these three additions would be fabulous to the samsung health app 🙂

How exactly would one go about making a suggestion?  One I have is that it would be much more useful if the Blood Oxygen (SpO2) reading would be taken at random times of the day, when not in an activity, and/or during sleep.  This would give an actual pattern of the level, rather than a "when I think of it" type sporadic measurement.  Shouldn't be hard to implement, and would be SO much more useful.

Maybe a reminder option to help us take the measurements?

Hi!

Totally agree with all of those!

Would like to comment on #2 I have substituted the water feature completely with the Play Store free app Water Drink Reminder. It has all the customization and a great goal calculator as well as widgets and it can be linked to Samsung Health and be showed on the homescreen.

Also #3 existed before but was removed to the sorrow of many and we are asking for it back!

Sincerely, Ane Hulton, avid user and aspiring software engineer 😀

Hi,

I basically use the Samsung Health app to track my food. Since me girlfriend also tracks her food, it would be very very helpfull if I could share my meals with here. At the moment we need to manuelly double type in every meal that we have together. 

I also like the idea of @Tinker806 that scanning barcodes should be possible.

Would like Samsung Health to share active time with other apps. My company has an app that gives us bonuses based on how many minutes we are active each day. Samsung Health tracks active time, but doesn't share the data with other apps.
