Samsung Electronics is preparing to launch an innovative Brain Health service designed to detect early signs of dementia, the company confirmed ahead of the CES 2026 tech showcase in Las Vegas. The new health tool is expected to be one of the biggest announcements from Samsung’s booth when the Consumer Electronics Show opens on January 6, 2026.
According to multiple industry reports, Samsung’s Brain Health service will analyze user data collected from both smartphones and wearable devices, such as Galaxy watches and potentially smart rings, to look for subtle changes in cognitive health. The system will monitor patterns in voice, gait (walking behaviour), and sleep to identify early indicators of cognitive decline, including dementia.
Unlike traditional smart health features that focus on heart rate, blood pressure, or physical activity, this service aims to bring neurological monitoring into everyday consumer tech. Samsung has reportedly completed internal development of Brain Health and is conducting clinical validation in collaboration with medical institutions to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
The feature is expected to integrate seamlessly into the Samsung Health ecosystem, joining tools for blood pressure, ECG monitoring, and other wellness metrics already available on Galaxy devices. Samsung plans to protect sensitive health data using its Samsung Knox security platform, storing information locally on the device rather than sending it to the cloud.
In a related note, Samsung’s broader device ecosystem continues to expand. For example, recent mobile offerings, including the popular Galaxy A55, have been highlighted for their value and performance.
While Samsung hasn’t announced an exact release date for Brain Health, industry insiders expect it to roll out to compatible Galaxy devices sometime after CES. If successful, Samsung Brain Health could mark a significant step in consumer tech’s role in preventive health, potentially helping millions detect the early signs of dementia sooner.
