Episode Details

Samsung introduces blood pressure tracking on Galaxy Watches in the US, offering heart rate and systolic/diastolic readings. However, it requires a regular cuff for baseline and recalibration every 28 days. The feature, available in South Korea for six years, is labeled as a wellness tool, bypassing full FDA approval. It pairs with the Samsung Health Monitor app on compatible Galaxy phones. The rollout is phased, with passive monitoring to be added later this year. This development could pave the way for more smartwatch health features.
