Samsung is actively setting up to expand its Samsung Health app services by introducing new convenient facilities. This giant is working on bringing a new feature called family health data sharing to the Samsung Health app.
Samsung is just nine days away from debuting the next-gen Galaxy Watch 7, which is expected to bring a new advanced facility that makes it a better tracker for your family.
A new report from the Android Authority says that a code has been spotted within the latest Samsung Health app that indicates that Samsung is working on family health data sharing with Galaxy Watches.
Samsung Health will soon let you monitor the data that your family member’s Galaxy Watch will receive. However, for security purposes, there is an approval process in the palace that allows for your Samsung account as a parent account to process the health data for your family member, for instance, your child’s Samsung account.
Since the data will be populated through the Galaxy Watch, it is quite obvious that your child will need to have their own Galaxy Watch and wear it enough to keep all key stats populated over time.
There are some security and privacy checks built into the family data-sharing feature. All members of the family will be able to stop sharing or change what and how much they share at any time, and they will also be able to preview what you want to share in advance.
Noticeably, accessing a child’s health details will require guardian consent. Shared data will automatically be deleted, and sharing will be rescinded in case there is an extended period of inactivity.
The Korean giant could bring the feature to its older smartwatches too, but it makes financial sense for the company to keep it exclusive to newer smartwatch models for a limited time initially before opening the feature up to older models.
