Preventive health is getting more personal.
Samsung expands blood pressure tracking
Select Galaxy Watch users in the US can now monitor blood pressure through Samsung Health, adding another at-home signal to the consumer health stack.
The feature requires a traditional cuff and isn’t intended to diagnose hypertension. But, it gives users a more regular view into one of the most widespread health risks in the country, affecting nearly half of US adults.
Becoming key tools for prevention, more consumer devices are moving from step counts and sleep scores toward health signals — monitoring risk before users enter the healthcare system.
