Get Blood Pressure Monitoring and ECG in India: How to Use the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, Watch 5, and Watch 4 Series

During Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event last year, the Galaxy Watch 6 series was introduced. With its most recent wearables, the South Korean electronics company has now added functionality for monitoring blood pressure and electrocardiography (ECG) in India. The Galaxy Watch 6 series offers new health-tracking capabilities that allow users to perform ECG tests from home and facilitate routine health check-ups. These features are accessible through the Samsung Health Monitor app. It has been verified that the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 series support the BP and ECG tracking functions.

Following regulatory clearances and certifications from India's Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, Samsung is enabling blood pressure monitoring and electrocardiogram (ECG) features on the Galaxy Watch 6 series in that country, an official press release claimed. Updates for the wearables will be distributed over-the-air (OTA) to devices, and the built-in Samsung Health Monitor app allows users to access the health tracking features. On the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5, these features are expected to be made available.

The Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Watch 5, and Galaxy Watch 4 models can be securely worn on the wrists to allow users to measure the rhythm of their heartbeat using the ECG tracking feature. A graph will display the data that is collected from sensors positioned on the skin, which will identify the electrical signals that the heart produces with each beat. It is possible for users to generate, record, store, and share ECG data with medical professionals using the Samsung Health Monitor app.
