v1.1
Version v1.1 Release Notes
What's New
1. Data Source from Wearable Device
Integration with Samsung Privileged Health SDK (https://developer.samsung.com/health/privileged)
v1.1 provides interfaces for Samsung Privileged Health SDK (hereinafter referred to as P.SDK), which can be used to measure and collect health data with Samsung Galaxy Watch.
Wearable kit module for ECG measurement UI
For certain data types collected from watches, an appropriate UI on the wearable application is required. Samsung Health Stack now provides a kit, allowing users to easily create wearable applications to measure such data. Currently, only UI for ECG data is supported. UIs for other data types will be supported soon.
DataSync between Samsung Galaxy Watch and Android mobile devices
Once health data is collected from the watch, the data is synchronized to the mobile device. Additionally, the data can be transmitted to the Health Stack Backend and utilized for research purposes.
How to use Samsung Privileged Health SDK (P.SDK)
Currently, approval is required to download and use P.SDK. (https://developer.samsung.com/health/privileged)
Once you download the P.SDK, just import it to your project!
Originally, creating a wearable app with P.SDK required implementing a wrapper and UI.
However, Samsung Health Stack simplified this process to minimal lines of code.
You can refer to a detailed example of implementation in the Starter-App.

2. Support Health Connect in Android 14
Support Android 14 with updated Health Connect
Health Connect has now become a core part of the Android 14 system.
Unlike older Android versions and previous Samsung Health Stack releases, you don't need to install the Health Connect App.
Health Stack v1.1 supports Health Connect within the updated Android 14 system, while ensuring backward compatibility for the older Android versions.
3. Starter-App Revised
Improved landing process via updating the Starter-App.
Starter-App has become the submodule of App-SDK, resolving code duplications and preventing confusion.
To test the Starter-App, you can choose either method - Clone App-SDK with its submodule or clone Starter-App directly.
By simply importing P.SDK after cloning, you gain access to the complete features of App-SDK.
Introducing Wearable Starter-App
Now that P.SDK integration is implemented, let us introduce the Wearable Starter-App.
Wearable Starter-App includes newly added ECG measurement, data sync feature.
Easy implementation when using the Samsung Health Stack.
