Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Is Picking Up A Key Health Feature Later This Year – SlashGear
The new Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification system in the Samsung Health Monitor app works alongside the other metabolic detection services already in the app that monitor things like heart rate, heart rhythm, and blood pressure. The IHRN system quietly tracks your vitals in the background while the app is running, and in the event any irregularities are picked up, it immediately notifies you. While atrial fibrillation isn’t always an immediate cause for concern, it could signify the potential of stroke or heart disease, so knowing about it immediately could be potentially lifesaving.
“Cardiovascular disease remains one of the main causes of death around the world, and we’re committed to empowering our users to stay informed about their heart health by providing monitoring tools, including blood pressure measurement and irregular heart rhythm notification,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re constantly exploring new ways to help Galaxy Watch users obtain deeper insights on their health and wellness effortlessly, day and night.”
The IHRN feature will be standard in the Samsung Health Monitor app, and by extension Galaxy Watch devices, going forward. It will be included at launch with the new One UI 5 Watch that is set to launch later this year, and will be made compatible with previous Watch versions after that.
