Samsung announced an October rollout of updates to its Health app’s Sleep and Running coaches. The Sleep Coach now requires only three days of data from the past two weeks, down from the previous seven‑day, one‑month minimum, and adds a Sleep Balance graph that displays sleep time, regularity, night awakenings, satisfaction and an Energy Score. Users must also complete a survey on sleep regularity, caffeine intake and interruptions, after which the coach generates an eight‑week program. The Running Coach expands its training tiers from ten to twelve levels, targeting runners with benchmarks. Samsung deepens its Strava integration, allowing imported running, trail and cycling routes to appear in the Health app. The changes aim to simplify guidance and improve user engagement.
