How does the Irregular Heart Rate notification work?
Soon, people who already use the Samsung galaxy watch6 will have access to the notice about Irregular Heart Rate (in English, Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification, or IHRN), in the watch app, called Samsung health monitor.

Using our watches, they are able to monitor vital signs, including blood pressure and heart rate, constantly improving their health and well-being.

senior manager of Wearables, in the Mobile Experience sector at Samsung Brazil.
Because it works in the background, without appearing explicitly, IHRN does not appear as an option for the user to access. Thus, during use, the watch observes the heartbeat and the notification appears, anticipating an unexpected change. As for the heart rate data, Samsung informs that its Watch6 can be pre-configured to compose an analysis about the Beats per minute (BPM).

Samsung's new watch also brought improvements to its design: it has a 20% larger screen, with even more processing capacity and expanded memory. Resolution has been improved thanks to brightness settings Always On Display. Added to these advantages is the battery, which not only has reduced consumption, but also faster charging time.

In addition to heart health, the line of watches smart also seeks to analyze data while you sleep, with the function Sleep Score Factors, which checks sleep time and physical and mental recovery. During rest at night, the new smartwatch can even obtain data on the menstrual cycle. But even with all these functions, the Samsung highlights in its statement that contacting a doctor is the best way to assess the health situation of users.
Will Samsung also have health sensors on cell phones?
Preparing to reach even more consumers with health sensors, Samsung has also already obtained a patent to implement health sensors in its mobile phones. O pig tou had exclusive access to the document that shows details of how blood pressure checks work for users of the brand's foldable smartphones.
The vehicle showed, in July, that Samsung's patent analyzes user data based on the angle created by the finger when bending the cell phone (as in the picture).
