We are waiting for it like May water. We are referring to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8, although it will most likely arrive a little earlier: today we told you that the official presentation would be held on March 29, although the launch on the market would not occur until mid-April. Be that as it may, important new features are coming, both in the data sheet - with a possible integrated iris sensor - and in the software. And it is precisely what we now want to talk to you about, because according to Sammobile, a specialist in Samsung issues, the Korean manufacturer would have planned to give a good facelift to its Samsung S Health application. First of all, it must be said that we are not facing an extraordinary event. Samsung has constantly worked to improve the operation of S Health and to be able to share with its great rivals: Apple Health and Google Fit. Recently, in fact, the firm added compatibility with other tools such as Fitbit, Jawbone or Strava. The new update is expected to fall. Samsung would take advantage of the coming out of the expected Samsung Galaxy S8.
According to data provided by this same source, Samsung is working with different partners to substantially renew the operation and characteristics of the application. There is talk of partners such as WebMD and Amwell, who would integrate an important database with symptoms, diseases and drugs within the tool. But this would not be all, because Samsung would like us to be able to schedule our doctor visitsfrom the application itself. It seems that the service - at least in certain countries - would offer the possibility of getting appointments with real doctors at any time, seven days a week, and obtaining a list of nearest emergency pharmacies. It seems clear that the service will be different depending on the user's country, but it remains to be seen how it could be applied in Spain.
This service would be complemented with a repository of information about the medical appointment. The user could specify his symptoms, add photos so that the doctor can see exactly what is happening to him and obtain prescriptions of medicines. These consultations would not be free, but users could pay the doctor's fees through the application itself, using their credit card. The user could indicate if they have medical insurance (an essential requirement if the service were to be applied in the United States) and call emergencies from the application itself.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 could be released in late March, but it wouldn't hit the market until mid-April. Rumors tell us about two different models. The first would be a team with a 5.7-inch screen, while the second, initially named Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, would enjoy a large 6.2-inch panel. Both would have a renewed machinery, with an eight-core processor, and important improvements will probably be pointed out in the camera and battery section. They will work, of course, as standard with Android 7.0 Nougat.
