The Samsung Vital Blood Pressure and Electrocardiogram tracking will now be available in the Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 in over 30 new countries, helping more consumers stay informed whenever they go. The new features will help users reduce their chances of brain, kidney, and heart diseases by offering comprehensive insights into their health and enabling them to make informed decisions and track their wellness goals.
Moreover, users can easily measure their heart rate and rhythm to classifying both as "a Sinus Rhythm (a normal, regular heartbeat) or AFib (when the heart beats irregularly)." To use the blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurements or to share with their healthcare provider, Samsung users must have the Samsung Health Monitor app installed on both the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active2 and their Galaxy smartphone.
