Galaxy Watch 5 (Pro): Samsung promises excellent tracking
Shortly after the official launch of the Galaxy Watch 5 (Pro), Yang Tae-jong, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics, spoke up. According to him the smartwatch offers the world’s best sleep tracking. No other smartwatch can examine the wearer’s sleep so precisely, he says. The advantages of the new “BioActive” sensor are already visible, but are expected to be even more extensive in the future.
The Galaxy Watch 5 (Pro) can monitor different stages of sleep, detect possible snoring and also measures the oxygen content in blood. In addition, there is a sleep coaching function, which according to Samsung shows “tailor-made programs” for healthier sleeping habits. The sleep coach is said to be offered free of charge and in cooperation with the Samsung Medical Center (source: The Korea Herald).
According to Yang, the “BioActive” sensor is far from the end of the road. Samsung is already working with the US National Sleep Foundation and labs at various American universities to advance sleep technology research. Yang assumes that smartwatches will be even more medically oriented in the future than before. They could also be used for patient monitoring and digital treatments.
