- Samsung's blood pressure monitoring feature is now available for select Galaxy Watch users in the U.S. through the Samsung Health Monitor App.
- High blood pressure affects nearly half of U.S. adults, increasing risks of heart disease and stroke; the tool aims to provide insights for health management but not for prevention or diagnosis.
- The feature requires calibration with an upper arm cuff every 28 days for accuracy and uses internal sensors to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate.
- It joins other FDA-authorized health tools on Samsung devices, such as sleep apnea detection, ECG readings, and irregular heart rhythm notifications.
- Galaxy Watch8 series models, including Galaxy Watch8 Classic and Galaxy Watch8, offer advanced sensor technology and AI-powered health experiences.
- Samsung Health provides a holistic wellness platform with sleep tracking, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, and plans to introduce passive blood pressure trend monitoring later this year.
