Research: Samsung Electronics, UGA to develop new digital health experience
Why do we feel tired and sluggish one day and filled with energy the next?
While there are many factors when it comes to measuring energy levels, users of the upcoming Galaxy Watch may come closer to answering these questions based on their personalized “Energy Score,” a collaborative measurement developed by Samsung and the University of Georgia.
To improve the digital healthcare experience, Samsung Research collaborated with Patrick O’Connor, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology, to design a new measurement that records energy as a daily score.
While creating an objective measurement of energy is difficult, O’Connor’s extensive research into exercise and psychobiology provides a foundation for identifying relationships between cognitive and physical capacity—two concepts factored into calculating the Energy Score.
