[Seoul, Korea=Whowired] July 02, 2012 -- Samsung Electronics said on July 2 that it would start the “S Health” service for its Galaxy S III users to check vital health stats such as the body weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.

S Health is an app that can deliver such health data to the smartphone through Bluetooth or USB.
