Samsung in collaboration with Cigna have announced a newer version of the health and fitness app named Coach by Cigna. The app will come with an updated UI, which follows Material design guidelines and comes with new and exciting features.
The app will be made available for the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge, the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy Note Edge and the Galaxy Note 4. Moreover the app will be free of charge through the Google Play Store.
Another thing to keep in mind when downloading this new app is that the app is only compatible with devices that have been updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Moreover the app also has instructional videos and support from health consultants to help the users focus on nutrition, weight, sleep, exercise and stress management.
According to the Cigna Global head of Channel and Partnership Marketing, Heather Valteris, the company is focused on finding new and effective ways in order to help people achieve better and healthier lives.
She explained that with just a few simple questions the app gets to know the preferences and likes of its users and then provides them with the best plans and ways to help them get where they want to be.
Apart from this the head of Health R&D Group at Samsung Electronics, Yong Jin Lee stated that his company is committed to the provision of better mobile health solutions for the users and is much better than what is currently in the market.
