In recent years, more and more technology companies are focusing on monitoring the health of their customers using various wearable electronics. No wonder. The healthcare industry is a goldmine, and if they can make it big with their technology, they can reap the rewards for a long time to come. Also because of this, these companies try to constantly innovate their products and bring their customers options that no other manufacturers have offered them in such a format. And that is exactly the case with South Korean Samsung and its upcoming Gear S4 smartwatches.
Smart watches or wristbands have been able to measure heart rate for quite a long time, so no one is dazzled by this option anymore. However, according to Samsung's patents, we could expect something far more interesting in its new generation of smart watches - blood pressure measurement. The whole technology should work thanks to light rays coming from the bottom of the watch, just like it is used to measure the heart rate, and subsequent decoding using various algorithms. As a result, a user who would use a watch with blood pressure measurement would not even know that his pressure is being measured.
If Samsung really succeeded in creating a smartwatch that could measure both heart rate and blood pressure, it would definitely revolutionize the industry. There would undoubtedly be interest among users of wearable electronics, which would mean a gold mine for Samsung. His smart bracelets and watches are not selling as well as he would probably like, and this boost could change the unpleasant reality. That is, although they sell well, at competitive prices Apple however, it is significantly losing, and the novelty in the form of blood pressure measurement could at least partially change that. So let's wonder if Samsung will actually manage to create a technology for measuring blood pressure and if it will be reliable enough to convince the world that it is worth investing in.
