Samsung’s new Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification will be available for Galaxy watches in these 13 markets soon
Samsung Electronics announced its new feature Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN) on Samsung Health Monitor app. This feature will be available in 13 markets: Argentina, Azerbaijan, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Georgia, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Panama, and UAE, as well as Korea and the U.S.
This feature has been combined with the app’s Blood Pressure and Electrocardiogram monitoring, which detects heart rhythm and notifies users. This feature has been approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This feature will keep track of your heart rhythm from the background and notify you in case of abnormal rhythms.
“Cardiovascular disease remains one of the main causes of death around the world, and we’re committed to empowering our users to stay informed about their heart health by providing monitoring tools, including blood pressure measurement and irregular heart rhythm notification,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re constantly exploring new ways to help Galaxy Watch users obtain deeper insights on their health and wellness effortlessly, day and night.”
The first upcoming Galaxy Watch will feature this new feature and then later it would be available for previous editions as a part of the new One UI 5 Watch.
