The S Health app allows users to link wearable devices, such as Samsung Gear to their mobile phones or tablets so that they can track their health and improve their lifestyle. Specific activities than the S Health can facilitate include measuring the heart rate, counting steps made daily, gauging stress levels, accounting sleeping patterns and computing daily calorie intake. Aside from tracking services, the app also allows users to record fitness goals, measure their progress and oversee how they are doing with their planned health regimen.

App proprietors have been using the Play Store as a tool for distributing their products. This allows users to update their apps, without having to wait for device updates. The decision of Samsung to bring the S Health to the Play Store may be an intervention that can help maintain control over these business.
