Samsung Gulf Electronics has announced that the Samsung Health Monitor app, which helps consumers monitor their health and encourages users to meet wellness objectives, is now available in the UAE.
Upon availability, Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Watch Active2 users can utilize blood pressure and electrocardiogram tracking benefits through the app, meaning they can stay informed about their health on the go. In line with brand traditions of regularly upgrading consumers offerings, Samsung also revealed that Galaxy Watch Active2 can be purchased in a new violet colour, which promises to complement today’s dynamic lifestyles.
“Now more than ever, looking after physical and mental well-being is essential,” said Osman Albora, senior director – Mobile Division, Samsung Gulf Electronics. “As a leading innovator, we believe in utilising technology to benefit our customers and communities, fusing creativity and next-generation features to deliver newfound value and drive better quality of life for everyone through cutting-edge devices. Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Watch Active2 echo this vision, backed by the power and influence of the Samsung Health app. We are sure that consumers across the UAE will be delighted with our latest customer-centric proposal.”
High blood pressure is commonly linked to brain, kidney and heart diseases, and if left untreated, it can lead to stroke and coronary heart disease. Galaxy smartwatches are able to measure blood pressure via the Samsung Health Monitor app, which provides users with deeper insight into health and allows them to make more informed decisions about their wellness.
Once the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active2 has been calibrated with a traditional cuff, users can simply tap to measure their blood pressure anytime, anywhere. The device measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the Heart Rate Monitoring sensors. The program then analyzes the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine the blood pressure.
It is estimated that around 33.5 million people worldwide are affected by Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), a common form of abnormal heart rhythm. AFib is often the cause of heart complications, including blood clots, failure and stroke.
The electrocardiogram function works by analysing the heart’s electrical activity via a sensor on the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active2. Users simply open the Samsung Health Monitor app when they are seated comfortably, and ensure the watch is fitted firmly to their wrist. Next, they should rest their forearm on a flat surface and lightly place a fingertip from the opposite hand on the top button on the smartwatch for 30 seconds. The app will then measure the heart rate and rhythm, which will be classified as either a Sinus Rhythm (a normal, regular heartbeat) or AFib (when the heart beats irregularly).
To take blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurements, users must have the Samsung Health Monitor app installed on both the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active2 and their Galaxy smartphone. The Samsung Health Monitor app is automatically installed when users update their Galaxy smartwatch to the latest version via the Galaxy Wearable app. The smartwatch app will then open a link, which will direct users to the smartphone app download page in the Galaxy Store app.
