Samsung Life Insurance Launches 'The Health' Sleep Analysis Service

Samsung Life Insurance announced on the 12th that its comprehensive health management platform, THE Health, will newly introduce a sleep analysis service.

THE Health is a personalized health management application launched by Samsung Life Insurance in April 2022. To celebrate its 2nd anniversary, new services have been introduced, and existing services along with the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) have been completely revamped.

The newly introduced service is a sleep health service. THE Health collaborated with A-Sleep to support the sleep health of modern people who have difficulty achieving deep sleep. The sleep analysis service measures and analyzes sleep quality using only breathing sounds during sleep. Based on sounds recorded while sleeping, it analyzes the time spent in deep sleep, light sleep, and REM sleep separately, allowing users to check their sleep status through a comprehensive score. Since the analysis is done using sound alone, it can be conveniently used with just a smartphone without wearing wearable devices like smartwatches during sleep.

If the overall sleep quality is low, users can receive information helpful for deep sleep or meditation content for mental health. Additionally, by utilizing weekly mission coaching that can be lightly practiced over one week, users can expect to improve their sleep health.

Furthermore, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Smart Alarm feature has been added. It rings the alarm during the REM stage, the lightest sleep phase, to help users wake up feeling refreshed. Simply using THE Health app means hiring your own sleep assistant for free.

The ‘Meal Record’ service, which automatically analyzes nutritional content by taking photos of food, has also been upgraded. Now, AI can automatically select and import food photos from the phone album without having to open the app and take pictures every time you eat, making meal recording more convenient. Users can also record the supplements they take, allowing them to check all the nutrients consumed in a day at a glance.

To enhance usability, the UI and UX have been redesigned, and existing services such as exercise programs and meditation content have been comprehensively upgraded.

THE Health plans to provide guidance through missions so that users can easily and enjoyably manage their health throughout the day, from waking up to going to bed. When users engage in health activities such as attendance, sleep measurement, walking, and meal recording, they will receive a certain amount of ‘Health Points’ as rewards. Health Points can be used in various ways, including events where mobile gift certificates can be earned.

A Samsung Life Insurance official stated, "We hope that the entire nation can effectively manage their health with the upgraded THE Health,” and added, “We will continue to provide differentiated services and benefits to grow into a national health management platform.”
