Samsung offers a whole range of health functions in its smart watches, such as measuring heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, ECG or blood pressure. According to a new leak, the Korean giant is preparing to introduce non-invasive blood sugar monitors and continuous blood pressure monitoring to improve users' health monitoring experience.
The non-invasive blood sugar monitoring technology is a near-infrared spectroscopy technology that determines the glucose content of tissue by examining the spectral signal of a beam of infrared light passing through human tissue. Now it seems that Samsung is planning to introduce these painless sugar testing health features to a range of its products Galaxy, such as a smart watch or the recently revealed smart ring Galaxy Ring.

Samsung CEO Hon Pak has previously revealed that the company is making every effort to bring basic healthcare metrics to its users through sensors without having to go to any lab. A non-invasive blood sugar monitor or continuous blood pressure monitor could bring a minor revolution to the wearables segment and help millions of people around the world by detecting their potential health problems within seconds.

At the moment, it is not known when Samsung could bring the new technology to the stage, but it seems that we will not have to wait too long. Galaxy Watch7 is set to hit the scene in the summer, so hopefully we'll see it with the upcoming generation of Samsung smartwatches. It would certainly be a crucial element for him in the competitive struggle, especially now Apple may not sell his in the US Apple Watch with the function of measuring blood oxygen saturation.
So it would be a revolution if the competition didn't already have/wasn't planning a similar measurement. Self-praise really stinks, as does Comrade Hah and his views.
This is all nice, but for me, Samsung would do better if it worked on the accuracy of the measurement. The high inaccuracy of heart rate measurement is often heard in discussions and reviews.
It's starting to give me the impression that Samsung is trying to cram as many sensors as possible into the watch, but they're not paying much attention to their accuracy.
It reminds me of the time when Chinese manufacturers started putting 4 lenses on phones and 3 of them were up to 8 MPx and terrible brightness...
I'm not saying that adding new sensors is a bad thing, I think they should focus on their accuracy.
After six months of experience with Watch 4 mi Samsung product must not cross the threshold. The wish to improve accuracy cannot be verified anyway, it will probably further shorten the dismal battery life. What turns me on the most is the "ability" of NFC payments. And the manufacturer does not focus on that.
