Samsung galaxy watch 4 or above (5,6,7)

I’m a developer from Sri Lanka, and I’m planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy Watch for a personal research project. Before purchasing, I’d like to confirm whether an independent developer (without any special access or partnership) can use the Samsung Health SDK or any available API to obtain continuous real-time heart rate data. for example, values every second instead of periodic averages.

Is this possible through the Health SDK or directly from the watch sensors? Or are there any restrictions for third-party developers when accessing real-time heart rate data?

Thank you for your guidance!

Hello,

Heart rate data can be collected with out SDK support.

Try SensorManager library to get sensor data.

If you need information about health sensor sdk, you can check the official websites or reach Developer Support.

Thanks
