Avoid treating as quickly as possible. This October 2, 2025, Samsung announces that it has been validated by the health services of South Korea to detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction, severe heart disease.
A first for connected watches. Galaxy Watch can detect a possible problem before notifying your user so you can consult a doctor.
To do this, Samsung uses algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Health, a sector that carries out connected watches
Responsible for almost 50% of heart failure, cardiovascular condition is particularly fatal, “more than certain cancers,” explains the manufacturer.
At this stage, we do not know the Galaxy Watch models concerned about this future update, which must also be approved by US and European health authorities. It may be necessary to have a Galaxy smartphone to take advantage of the entire ECG, as for previous characteristics.
The health sector is particularly prominent in connected watches, just like sport. Samsung and Apple fight a ruthless war to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sensors in many criteria. In the Apple Watch, it is possible to request help automatically if it detects a fall or a car accident.
The two companies also have a complete application dedicated to monitoring the health of their user, in particular to capture certain minor problems that can get worse, such as sleep apnea or heart rate disorders.
However, everything is not yet completely reliable. Several tests have demonstrated the random side of certain sensors, such as the Galaxy Watch 8 that is supposed to eat if eaten in a balanced way.
