Samsung Electronics is getting ready to showcase one of its most ambitious health features called Brain Health. The new feature is designed to help detect early signs of cognitive decline and early-stage dementia by quietly analyzing everyday data people already generate through their phones and wearables.
Samsung is reportedly planning to demonstrate the feature during its CES 2026 preview events in Las Vegas, positioning it as a major step forward in digital health (via Sam Mobile).
How Samsung’s Brain Health feature works
Brain Health collects and analyzes daily data such as voice patterns, gait changes, and sleep behavior using Samsung smartphones and wearable devices. By tracking how these patterns evolve over time, the system can flag potential cognitive changes and notify users or caregivers if something appears off.
The goal is not to replace doctors, but to surface warning signs early and encourage timely medical attention. Samsung also says the service will offer preventative guidance and personalized brain training programs to maintain or improve cognitive function.
Privacy is a major focus. According to Samsung, sensitive health data is processed directly on the device rather than being sent to the cloud. The company is relying on Samsung Knox to secure this information, keeping personal health insights protected while still delivering real-time analysis.
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 has not 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 integrate with the Samsung Health ecosystem, which already covers sleep, fitness, heart health, and nutrition across devices such as Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring.
The feature is expected to be part of Samsung’s wider CES 2026 showcase, where the company is also set to highlight major updates across TVs, displays, and its broader consumer tech lineup.
