Samsung announces a blood pressure monitoring app for the Galaxy Watch Active 2

Samsung on Tuesday announced that the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 smartwatch will soon be able to monitor the blood pressure of its users in South Korea. The company said in a press release that its Samsung Health Monitor application has been cleared by South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and will enable cuff-less blood pressure monitoring and tracking when paired with the Galaxy Watch Active 2.

This is not to be confused with ECG support that Samsung is currently working on to add to the Galaxy Watch Active 2.

So looks like both Samsung and Apple are getting serious around improving health tracking.
