So here’s something interesting – reports say Singapore could actually save up to S$650 million in healthcare costs if people made long-term changes to their lifestyles. Simple shifts like managing blood pressure better, exercising more, and cutting down on sodium could go a long way toward better overall health.
But there’s one area many still struggle with – sleep. Even though it’s critical for recovery and immunity, a lot of Singaporeans aren’t getting enough rest, often because of long work or study hours, heavy screen use, or just not treating sleep as a priority.
Looking from another perspective, why not let the smart tech of 2025 from Samsung help you with that, as the new Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic comes in with health-focused features designed to help users build healthier habits. For example, they’ve introduced Vascular Load, which shows how much stress your vascular system is under during sleep, and paired it with Bedtime Guidance, a tool that tracks circadian rhythm and suggests the best time to sleep. Together, they give a pretty clear picture of how your body is recovering overnight.
added the industry-first Antioxidant Index, which uses the BioActive sensor to measure carotenoids in your body. Since antioxidants help fight free radicals that accelerate ageing, tracking these levels could nudge people toward healthier eating habits.

Additionally, there’s the Sleep Apnea detection feature, which is already approved by Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority by the way, that helps spot moderate to severe signs of the condition that affects about one in three Singaporeans. Meanwhile, the enhanced ECG can now capture ectopic beats more effectively, offering early insights for those at risk of heart issues.
To top it off, Samsung is also rolling out the One UI 8 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024), giving even more users access to these motivational health features.
