Samsung Health is one of the most versatile health & fitness tracking apps and systems for current users, especially for the Samsung ecosystem. And Samsung is planning to improve the platform further with new features. A source from Android Authority said that Samsung Health will soon have the feature to share family members' health data.
Android Authority reveals Samsung will soon offer the option to share a user's health data from Samsung Health with others (like family members). For example, parents can monitor the health data of their children or elderly family members.
Users need not worry about the privacy of their health data as there is an approval process in place to ensure that only authorized users can access that data. Furthermore, users who are sharing their data with family members can stop sharing whenever they want or change the content and amount of data they want to share. Leaked screenshots show that children (or the elderly) need a Galaxy phone to share health data from the Galaxy Watch.
Users can preview how their health data appears before sharing it with others. Access to children's health data requires consent from the parent's (or guardian's) account. If there is no activity for a long period of time, shared health data will be automatically deleted and sharing will stop.
From the report, it seems like the upcoming feature will not be limited to the upcoming Galaxy Ring or Galaxy Watch. So it's very possible that this feature will also be released for older Galaxy Watches (likely Galaxy Watch 4 or later).
