Samsung's Galaxy Watch to Include Irregular Heart Rhythm Detection in Upcoming Update
TL;DR Summary
Samsung's Galaxy Watch will soon be able to alert wearers to irregular heart rhythms, as the US FDA has approved the Health Monitor app's irregular heart rhythm notification feature for the device. The watch's BioActive Sensor will look for irregular heart rhythms in the background, and if it picks up several irregular measurements consecutively, the watch will alert the wearer to possible AFib activity. The notification will suggest that the user takes an ECG reading for a more accurate measurement.
