- Samsung Watches “Soon” will obtain the early detection of heart failure
- The characteristic already has regulatory approval in South Korea.
- Meanwhile, Galaxy Watch’s sleep scores do not seem to work properly
Wearables are improving to detect various health conditions, through improvements in sensor technology and AI, and Samsung has announced that their Galaxy watches will soon be able to detect certain early signs of heart failure.
According to a new blog post, Samsung wearables “soon” can alert users of the left ventricular systolic dysfunction or LVSD signs. This is where the muscles of the heart weaken, affecting the blood pumping capacity, and it is believed that it is responsible for about half of heart failures worldwide.
After receiving regulatory approval in South Korea, the next step will be authorization in other parts of the world. The feature could be on the way quite soon, although Samsung has not specified which of its Galaxy Watch models could obtain it.
The same blog post also describes non -invasive brain scan technology in which Samsung is working, which would allow EEG -style scan (electroencephalogram) to look for problems such as drowsiness, for example. This innovation seems further, although it could eventually function as a complement to Samsung Galaxy Buds.
Sleep more deeply?
Meanwhile, back with the existing applications and characteristics of Samsung Galaxy Watch, something strange seems to be happening with sleep score reports: as Android Authority pointed out, many users are seeing changes in the figures they are receiving in the morning.
Galaxy watches can produce a personalized sleep score after each sleep period, which Factor in several variables, including how much time he slept and how deep his dream was, to produce a number of up to 100 (which would match the perfect sleep session, without the need for improvements).
This Reddit thread presents numerous examples of users who have begun to reach 99 or 100 almost every day. Or something has changed in the algorithms that Samsung is using, or Galaxy Watch owners are sleeping a lot, much better. As insects go, it is not the most serious, but it is interfering with the ability of people to monitor their sleep hygiene.
Samsung has not yet commented on the subject, and it is possible that these scores return to normal as suddenly as they have exhausted. Meanwhile, if you are seeing similar figures in your own Samsung health application, know that you are not the only one.
