Samsung Activates ECG and Blood Pressure Monitor on the Galaxy Watch 5 in Malaysia
Good news comes to the users of the Galaxy Watch 5 series in Maylasia as Samsung has finally activated the ECG and Blood Pressure monitor functionality in this region. This means that users who currently have Samsung’s latest smartwatch can now use the Samsung Heath Monitor app to measure their ECG and Blood Pressure level.
This may not be an accurate measurement as compared to a real medical equipment. But with this, users can know the conditions of their heart and blood pressure earlier before things get serious. In this case, they can quickly seek for medical attention at an earlier stage.
One thing to note however is that you can only use this feature when the Galaxy Watch 5 is paired with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. To use the blood pressure measurement feature, a user may have to make sure the watch is firm on the wrist. You may first have to calibrate the watch with a standard blood pressure device before you can use the blood pressure monitoring feature.
Using the ECG is quite easier than the Blood Pressure. With this, you just have to make sure the smartwatch is paired with a galaxy smartphone. Open the Samsung Health Monitor app and rest your other hand on the top button of the smartwatch to measure your ECG.
