Samsung Electronics is preparing to unveil one of its most ambitious health features called Brain Health. The new feature aims to help detect early signs of cognitive decline and early-stage dementia by analyzing everyday data that people already generate through their phones and wearables.
Samsung reportedly plans to demonstrate the feature during its CES 2026 preview events in Las Vegas, positioning it as a major advance in digital health (via Sam Mobile).
This is how Samsung’s Brain Health feature works
Brain Health collects and analyzes data such as voice patterns, gait changes and sleep patterns daily using Samsung smartphones and wearable devices. By tracking how these patterns develop over time, the system can detect potential cognitive changes and notify users or caregivers if something is wrong.
The goal is not to replace doctors, but to bring warning signs to light early and encourage timely medical treatment. Samsung also says the service will offer preventive advice and personalized brain training programs to maintain or improve cognitive function.
Data protection is the priority. According to Samsung, sensitive health data is processed directly on the device and is not sent to the cloud. To secure this information, the company relies on Samsung Knox to protect personal health information while providing real-time analytics.
Samsung has reportedly completed most of the development work for Brain Health and is currently conducting clinical trials in collaboration with medical institutions. The company hasn’t confirmed an exact launch date or which devices will support the feature first, but it has said Brain Health is in its final stages and will play a central role in its expanding healthcare strategy.
Brain Health will be integrated into the Samsung Health ecosystem, which already covers sleep, fitness, heart health and nutrition on devices like Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring.
The feature is expected to be part of Samsung’s broader CES 2026 presentation, where the company will also highlight key updates to TVs, displays and its broader consumer tech lineup.
