Samsung Launches S Health Services: Monitors Weight, Blood Sugar and Graphs it All
Samsung mentioned its S Health app in passing during the grand unveiling of the Galaxy S III — presumably due to the glut of similarly S-suffixed apps and services that were also unveiled. The service has now apparently launched in Samsung’s homeland, alongside more details of what it’ll offer. This includes a raft of metric-measuring charts, as well as the ability to connect through Bluetooth and USB to health devices like heart-rate monitors and connectivity-friendly scales. The app will record and even graph your health ups and downs, aiming to help “regulate” what you eat and gauge exactly how much you exercise. It has now launch on Samsung’s App hub and will make its way to the US and five to-be-confirmed European countries soon.
Update: We’ve just received the English version of the PR, which adds that the app is now live in the UK, alongside an initial list of compatible health devices. Take a look after the break.

Google Analytics Goes Mobile With App Analytics And An Android App
Google is announcing a big addition to Google Analytics today — Mobile App Analytics.
As with the social media-focused reports launched earlier this year, the interest in mobile analytics is obvious — if anything, it might seem that Google is a little late in chasing these trends. In this case, Product Manager JiaJing Wang says the goal was to create a “holistic app analytics.” While there are other mobile analytics services out there, Wang says none of them really tracks all of the relevant data, so developers end up stitching different services together into a “disparate and taxing experience.”
Wang says Google’s new analytics cover the three main stages of an app’s relationship with users — acquisition and user metrics, engagement, and outcome. When it comes to user acquisition, developers can now track new and active users, and how that breaks down across different app versions, devices, and operating system. On engagement, Google Analytics includes data like usage frequency, engagement flow, and crash reports. Finally, on outcomes, Mobile App Analytics will show conversions (to whatever goal is important to the developer) and in-app purchases.
