Samsung has revealed that the Samsung Health Monitor app has been certified by the Food and Drug Administration of Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare. It means that Samsung Health Monitor can now be downloaded and installed on Android phones paired with Galaxy Watches, bringing more health features, including Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification.
All Galaxy Watches, starting from the Galaxy Watch 4, can now offer Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications when an irregular heart rate is detected. However, the paired smartphone needs to run Android 9 (or newer). The ECG feature has already been available on Galaxy Watches in Taiwan.
Atrial Fibrilation (AFib) is a condition that is considered a warning sign of major cardiovascular problems, including heart attack. AFib can be detected using the Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification feature on Galaxy Watches. Sometimes, even AFib doesn't offer enough information about potential cardiovascular issues, but Galaxy Watches offer a variety of tools to know when patients are at risk.
