Samsung’s irregular heart rhythm monitoring is coming to more countries.
Galaxy Watches were already capable of taking EKGs, but those are just spot checks. This feature is more passive, and works in the background to detect signs you may have atrial fibrillation.
Samsung already got FDA clearance for this feature last month, but now it’s got Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to sign off too. Plus, it’ll be introduced to 11 more countries across South America, Europe, and the Middle East whenever the One UI 5 Watch update arrives later this year. (Check out the entire list here.)
That’s 13 countries! No small feat when you think about how tedious regulatory clearance is.
