ECG
The company hopes that its more descriptive reports will distinguish the personal ECG offering from others limited to atrial fibrillation detection alone.
The Samsung Health Monitor app will be updated to enable these features on the Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Watch Active2 beginning on February 4 for certain markets.
The new version will expand the classification range up to 150 beats per minute.
The device continuously monitors four significant vital signs: heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate and activity.
The Oakland, California, company recently announced collaborations with AstraZeneca and 3M Littmann Stethoscopes.
The company released three new products today that are available today for preorder on Fitbit’s website and will be sold worldwide in late September.
While its Galaxy Watch3 device is available now, a launch date for the Samsung Health Monitor app that will enable ECG, blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation tracking is still up in the air.
The latest feature can now be combined with Samsung's cuffless blood pressure monitoring feature, which got approval in South Korea a few weeks ago.
Last week the company raked in $3 million in seed funding.
