Recently, Samsung s Galaxy Watch Active 2 passed the certification of Korea Food and Drug Safety Agency, which can measure people's blood pressure.
It is understood that the working principle of Galaxy Watch Active 2 is to read the input data of wearable heart rate sensor and compare it with the pre-calibrated value measured by the traditional cuff-link based blood pressure monitoring system.
For many people, Samsung s Galaxy Watch Active series smart watches are a better choice than Apple Watch. In particular, Galaxy Watch Active 2 is quite rich in functions.
Like most fitness-centered wearable devices, it can track a large number of body parameters. Now it can also measure people's blood pressure.
Samsung just announced that the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has approved Galaxy Watch Active 2 as a device that can measure blood pressure. This can be achieved through a new application on the mobile phone and input the existing heart rate sensor data of the wearable device.
There are some extra steps before measuring blood pressure with Galaxy Watch Active 2.
First, you need to input at least three readings with a traditional cuff sphygmomanometer. You can also find more information about the calibration process in the attached video.
Second, Samsung relies on the so-called pulse wave analysis to convert the data of the heart rate sensor into systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
Although the Korean government has approved the use of Galaxy Watch Active 2 as a blood pressure monitoring tool, it will take some time for this function to be popularized in Korea.
It may take a long time for the global sale, because the Galaxy Watch Active 2 must be approved by the health departments of various countries.
Samsung said that the application will be open to all users in the third quarter of 2020.
