Samsung Electronics has taken a bold step toward the future of health-focused wearables with the launch of its Galaxy Watch8 series, introducing a groundbreaking feature called the Antioxidant Index the first of its kind in the smartwatch industry.

The process is entirely non-invasive, taking just about five seconds to deliver results. According to Samsung, this advancement reflects the company’s growing focus on preventive wellness and nutritional intelligence, key pillars in its ongoing “Era of Healthy Aging” initiative.
Data from the Antioxidant Index seamlessly integrates with the Samsung Health app, allowing users to track changes in their antioxidant status over time, correlate results with diet and lifestyle, and receive tailored insights for improving their nutrition.
