Samsung Intelligent Ring for Health Tracking Option
Samsung has launched its latest wearable, the Galaxy Ring, with health-tracking features such as heart rate and sleep monitoring. Hon Pak, head of Samsung’s digital health team, mentioned that wearing Samsung’s smartwatches and the Ring together provides users with diverse health insights. Samsung is considering a subscription model for the Samsung Health app, pending improvements in capabilities. The Galaxy Ring includes sensors for vital signs and a “vitality score” accessible through the Samsung Health app.
Samsung is exploring additional features like contactless payments and working on noninvasive glucose monitoring and blood pressure sensing. The company aims to expand its health ecosystem with various devices, including smartphones, smartwatches, and now the Galaxy Ring. Pak envisions an AI “coach” providing personalized health insights, and Bixby, Samsung’s digital assistant, may play a role. The potential subscription service for Samsung Health is under consideration, contingent on enhanced capabilities and insights provided by AI assistants.
