三星电子9月9日在首尔媒体说明会上介绍Galaxy Watch与Samsung Health的心脏健康管理功能（血压/ECG、心脏健康评分、生命体征、家庭数据共享），未披露任何新增收入、订单或零部件变化

Samsung Electronics has expanded heart health management features based on its Galaxy Watch devices and Samsung Health app.
Samsung introduced features including blood pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement, a heart health score, vital signs monitoring and health data sharing among family members at a media briefing held Sept. 9 at the Taepyeong-ro Building near Seoul City Hall.
Samsung introduced an optical photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor with the Galaxy S5, Gear 2 and Gear Fit in 2014 and has since continued to expand its health management technologies. In 2020, its Samsung Health Monitor app for blood pressure and ECG measurement received medical device approval from South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
In 2021, Samsung introduced the BioActive Sensor on the Galaxy Watch4, combining optical heart rate, ECG and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) sensors. In 2023, its Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification feature, which alerts users to signs of possible atrial fibrillation, received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Watch9 support a heart health score feature. It analyzes health data including sleep, activity levels, vascular stress and body composition to provide a score and health management guidance.
The devices also support a vital signs feature that tracks physical conditions during sleep. It measures five indicators — heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature and blood oxygen saturation — and alerts users when changes differ from their usual baseline.
Samsung Health also includes health data sharing. With user consent, data including steps, exercise, sleep, weight, body composition, food intake, heart rate, stress, blood pressure, blood glucose, medication and vital signs can be selectively shared with family members or acquaintances.
Linking family profiles with Samsung accounts allows family members to view one another’s health records.
Samsung also disclosed real-world examples of the features in use. In Jordan last year, a user discovered atherosclerosis and underwent a procedure after receiving an irregular heart rhythm notification. In Brazil, a user who repeatedly received inconclusive ECG readings sought medical attention and addressed the risk of myocardial infarction, Samsung said.
“We are combining Galaxy Watch sensor technology with Samsung Health’s analytical capabilities to help users manage heart health risk factors,” said Choi Jong-min, executive vice president of the Digital Health Team at Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience (MX) Business. “We will introduce smart healthcare services focused on prevention.”
