Samsung's Blood Pressure Monitoring Feature Now Available

13 hours ago

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.
