Apple Watch always liked me more than any other smart hours. Not only and not so much because, besides them, there are no popular solutions on the market, and because no model, as I then thought, could not compete with the point of view of functionality. No, well, see yourself. Where else can you find a clock that can determine so wide list of diseases? But, as it turned out, I was wrong, because for a long time on the market there are at least one line of smart watches, which not only is not inferior, but something even exceeds Apple Watch.
Apple Watch can identify COVID-19 a week before the appearance of symptoms
Galaxy Watch 3 is the latest generation of SAMSUNG smart watches. Despite the lower popularity of the model, Korean engineers were not afraid to equip them truly in demand and, I would even say an innovative regime. We are talking about blood pressure measurement mode. For this, the clock does not require a cuff or a special pump, which would squeeze the wrist to produce accurate measurements. It is enough just to sit down and wait a few seconds while Galaxy Watch will carry out the necessary manipulations.
How Galaxy Watch Measure Pressure
The principle of operation of pressure measurement technology used in Galaxy Watch is traditional as for smart watches, while this solution is not very common. They simply measure the speed of blood flow, translucent wrist with a pulsometer, then carry out the necessary calculations using software support with neural networks and give the result. It is almost the only possible technique available to the wearable electronics, which is not equipped with an additional body kit. That is why even Apple uses it by teaching Apple Watch pressure measurement in laboratory conditions.
Why I chose Apple Watch SE instead of Apple Watch 6
However, just to take and start measuring the pressure hours will not work. Not only because in Russia this function is disabled due to the lack of permission to work on its operation, and because Samsung places certain requirements for the accuracy of the measured measurements that need to be compared with something. Therefore, before proceeding with measurements, Galaxy Watch must be calibrated using a real tonometer. This happens as follows:
- We wear clock on the wrist, and the cuff - at the forearm;
- We launch the pressure measurement with a clock and a tonometer;
- We introduce the results in the Samsung Health Monitor application;
- We wait until the application completes the results and will make adjustments;
- After that, it is possible to measure the pressure of hours without a tonometer.
Is it worth measuring the pressure of hours
Requirements that are presented to the user measuring pressure using smart watches are not very different from the measurement technique with a tonometer. It is very important before the measurement starts to take a convenient position so that the hand is not on weight, and during - not to move and not talk to avoid mistakes. By the way, in this sense, Galaxy Watch do not differ from the crew tonometers that wear on the wrist, and not on the forearm, and because they are slightly more accurate, but also more sensitive to external stimuli.
Apple Watch 7 may appear the definition of blood sugar. How will it work?
The pressure measurement function using smart watches is likely to be considered to be a real analogue of classic tonometers. But, given that Samsung, firstly, received permission in the supervisory authorities to distribute this function, and, secondly, offers the user to calibrate the measurement using medical equipment used in the Galaxy Watch method of measuring pressure to most likely be trusted. In any case, this is much more useful (especially for hypertensive) than the removal of ECG testimony and even measurement of saturation.
