Stress is a normal part of everyday life, but understanding how your body responds to it can help you better manage it. When used with a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, Samsung Health lets you monitor your stress level and use guided breathing exercises to help you relax.

Note:

  • A compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring is required to monitor your stress level in Samsung Health.
  • The information provided applies to Samsung Galaxy devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary depending on your wireless service provider, software version or device model.

Use the Samsung Health app on your phone together with a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring to review your stress level, track changes over time, and access guided breathing exercises to help you relax.

1 Navigate to and open the Samsung Health app.
2 Make sure the Home tab at the bottom of the screen is selected. Samsung Health includes multiple tabs, and some features are only available from specific tabs.
3 Tap the Stress tile.

5 Stay quiet and remain still while your Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring measures your stress level.
6 When the measurement is complete, your stress level will appear in the Samsung Health app on your phone.

If you're wearing a compatible Galaxy Watch, you can measure your stress anytime using the Samsung Health app on your watch. Your results are automatically synced to the Samsung Health app on your phone, where you can review your stress history and access additional features.

1 On your watch, open the Samsung Health app.
2 Swipe to and tap the Stress tracker.

Note: You can also set your Galaxy Watch to measure your stress level continuously. To do so, tap Settings under Show on phone, then tap Measure continuously. Keep in mind that continuous measurements may reduce battery life.

To help ensure accurate stress measurements, follow these tips:

  • Wear your Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring correctly so the sensor stays in contact with your skin.
  • Remain seated, relaxed, and as still as possible until the measurement is complete.
  • Keep the sensor clean and free of dirt or debris.
  • If the measurement seems unusually high or low, rest for about 30 minutes before measuring again.
  • In cold weather, warm up before taking a measurement, as low skin temperature may affect accuracy.
  • Keep your Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring software and the Samsung Health app up to date.

There are a few additional factors to keep in mind when measuring your stress level:

  • Stress measurements are intended for your personal wellness and are not designed to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
  • If your heart rate is unusually high or low, your stress measurements may be less accurate.
  • Your stress measurements may vary depending on your surroundings, activity level, or how the device is being worn.
  • Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking a measurement may affect your recorded heart rate and stress level.
