Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 to Elevate Health Monitoring with FDA-Cleared Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 to Elevate Health Monitoring with FDA-Cleared Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications By- Techknowledge on May 10, 2023
Manufacturers are increasingly incorporating health-focused features like electrocardiograms into fitness trackers and smartwatches. For instance, the Galaxy Watch 5 from Samsung already has a number of health-tracking features. However, the company's upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 is set to improve its health monitoring capabilities further thanks to the FDA's recent approval of irregular heart rhythm notifications (IHRN) via the Health Monitor app.

The ability of the device to continuously detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) enhances its capacity to monitor the user's heart activity.
In a blog entry, Samsung declared that the IHRN component will be coordinated into One UI 5 Watch, a new smartwatch working framework that will be accessible as a future update to existing Galaxy Watch models. It's actually important that the Apple Watch Series 8 as of now upholds this usefulness. The BioActive sensor on Galaxy Watch models will be used by Samsung's Health Monitor app to continuously monitor heart activity. The device will notify the user to obtain an electrocardiogram for more precise measurement once an irregular heartbeat pattern is detected.
This development is a significant step toward expanding the role of smartwatches in promoting health and wellness, even though Samsung is not the first company to offer IHRN functionality. The One UI 5 Watch update for older Galaxy Watch models has not yet been announced by the company, but it is likely to be available later this year.
