The Galaxy Watch5 models are capable of monitoring BP (blood pressure) and ECG (electrocardiogram), while, Samsung is now unlocking these features for users in the Philippines. Thanks to the intelligent BioActive sensor, Galaxy Watch users can track their health status directly from the wrist.

How to use:

Blood Pressure

Install the Samsung Health Monitor application onto your Galaxy smartphone and connect it to your compatible Galaxy Watch5 then calibrate it with a traditional cuff. Voila, you can now measure the blood pressure on your smartwatch anytime, anywhere.

Do note that the Galaxy Watch5 measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the Heart Rate Monitoring sensors. Then, the program records the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine BP.

Electrocardiogram

The ECG (electrocardiogram) feature works by recording the heart’s electrical activity through a sensor on the Galaxy Watch5. You just need to open the Samsung Health Monitor app, sit comfortably and ensure the watch is fitted firmly to your wrist.

Now, rest your forearm on a flat surface and lightly place a fingertip from the opposite hand on the top button on the watch for 30 seconds. Once done, the app will measure your heart rate and rhythm, which will be displayed as either a Sinus Rhythm (a normal, regular heartbeat) or AFib (when the heart beats irregularly).
