The Samsung Health Monitor BP and ECG tracking can “complement” the regular medical checkups via the Samsung Health Monitor App. This apparatus has received regulatory approvals from India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation. Users can download the Samsung Health Monitor App on the Galaxy Store. These features will debut on the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 series soon, the company noted in its press release.
“Blood pressure test measures the pressure in the arteries as the heart pumps and is done as a part of a routine health check-up.” The latest watch also gets a Photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor that can record systolic and diastolic pressure, and pulse rate and present the stats in the Samsung Health Monitor app.
