Nowadays, sleep tracking is a common wristwatch feature, and numerous manufacturers aim to enhance their smartwatch lines’ sleep tracking capabilities. A Samsung executive recently discussed how the company’s newest smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, have enhanced sleep monitoring.
Samsung spokesperson says Watch 5 has the world’s most advanced sleep tracking technology.
According to Yang Tae-jeong, executive vice president of Samsung Electronics and head of health research and development for Samsung’s mobile experience division, the Watch 5 uses the world’s most cutting-edge sleep tracking technology. In addition, he underlined that the new wearable device is outfitted with various technologies, such as an advanced bioactive sensor. These technologies will make Watch 5 the best partner for upholding healthy routines and sleeping patterns.
Yang also mentioned that Samsung has long been working on sleep-tracking technologies. To assess your sleep quality and provide a score, Watch 5 monitors several sleep stages, listens for snoring, and checks blood oxygen levels.
The sleep training function will also offer individualized regimens for sounder and healthier sleep. The Samsung Medical Center and the sleep coaching program are free to participate in.
Young stated that the business is conducting sleep technology research in collaboration with the National Sleep Foundation of the United States, UC San Diego, and San Francisco labs. In addition, he collaborates with these institutions to use pertinent data for therapeutic research.
A new temperature sensor for the Watch 5 uses infrared technology to provide more precise measurements. Additionally, it can be used to gauge sleep. The CEO, however, missed saying when the new temperature measurement services will go into operation.
Yang said that he thinks smartwatches will eventually be more medically focused and capable of patient monitoring and digital treatment.
He highlighted Samsung’s healthcare business’ three pillars: “Innovation, Communication, and Collaboration.”
Galaxy Watch 5: An overview of the advancements it brings over the Galaxy Watch 4
The Galaxy Watch 5 features some noticeable upgrades over its predecessor and is available for pre-order. The battery is bigger, and the charging is significantly faster. The smartwatch now supports 10W WPC-based wireless charging and can run for almost eight hours in just eight minutes charge.
Those mentioned above unique bio-active sensor combines a variety of specialized health sensors to deliver precise health data and information on fitness and wellness.
For instance, it will remind you to drink more water after a strenuous exercise session. And in terms of sleep, if it notices anything resembling it using its sleep monitoring skills, it will display notifications for recurring sleep problems like sleep apnea (a condition in which breathing frequently stops and starts). Additionally, Watch 5’s sleep exercise plan will contain personalized checkpoints, targets, and milestones to assist you in forming better sleep habits.
