Navigating today’s scattered health data and a healthcare system geared towards treating illness, not preventing it, hinders our ability to build healthy habits and prioritize long-term wellbeing.
So how do we take back control?
Powered by Samsung’s cutting-edge sensor technology that provides a holistic, real-time overview of our health, the new Galaxy Watch8 series shifts the focus to preventative care.
It provides clear, actionable insights based on your lifestyle patterns to help you understand your body and mind more deeply, build healthy habits and help identify silent threats such as ectopic beats early on.
Preventative Care Through Early Detection
With new heart metrics, Galaxy Watch8 series spots the potential for health issues sooner, so you can prevent them before they start:
Ectopic Beat Detection: Galaxy Watch8’s enhanced Electrocardiogram (ECG) can better capture ectopic beats – premature heartbeats that often go undetected in routine checkups as they frequently occur without noticeable symptoms.
It is well known that frequent ectopic beats can be considered clinically significant and may lead to arrhythmias that drive up stroke and heart-failure risk. Galaxy Watch8 series provides enhanced ECG measurement with the ability to differentiate instances of frequent ectopic beats providing earlier insights to support preventive care.
Vascular Load: While you sleep, Galaxy Watch8 reads Photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveforms – optical signals associated with blood flow during sleep. It measures blood volume and vascular stiffness and precisely analyzes changes in stress on blood vessels.
Because diet, stress, and rest all affect this metric, regular monitoring shows which habits to fine-tune and helps you cut cardiovascular risk before it takes hold.
