Samsung has encouraged digital health innovation to help simplify health tracking through BioActive Sensors, which provide more comprehensive, personalized and accurate health data.

Continuing this mission, Samsung is again upgrading the standard by introducing the latest technology from BioActive Sensors to be embedded in the next Galaxy Watch.

This new sensor is later claimed to allow health features that can predict and provide personal prevention advice that has never existed in other wearables, as well as more accurate health measurements.

While developing this BioActive Watch technology, technicians on Samsung focused on three upgrades, namely improving the performance of light receiving photodiodes, adding additional colors to light emitting diodes (LEDs), and managing them optimally across sensors.

Samsung improved the performance of each photodiode by more than double, reducing the amount needed to maintain capacity from eight to four.

This update will provide additional space for more LED sum integration and variations and ensure optimal placement across sensors.

These new sensors will include Blue, Yellow, Purple, and Ultraviolet LEDs as well as an increase in the number of Green, Red, and Infrared LEDs.

The addition of this LED color allows new BioActive Sensors to measure health metrics such as heart rate, sleep quality, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and stress levels more accurately.

Not only that, an increase was also available during heart rate measurements during intensive training which was 30 percent more accurate than its predecessor.

The next Galaxy Watch will bring more advanced and intelligent medical and fitness tools to help achieve user goals, said Samsung.
