The Samsung Galaxy Watch ECG feature allows users to monitor their heart rhythm for irregularities, directly from their wrist.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch ECG feature provides users with the ability to take an electrocardiogram (ECG) directly from their wrist, offering a convenient way to monitor their heart rhythm. By analyzing the electrical activity of the heart, the ECG app can detect signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and other irregular heartbeats. This feature utilizes advanced sensor technology built into the watch to capture accurate readings, which can then be shared with healthcare professionals for further evaluation. The ECG data is stored securely on the user's smartphone and can be accessed through the Samsung Health app. This feature is targeted towards individuals who are health-conscious, have pre-existing heart conditions, or are interested in proactively monitoring their cardiovascular health.

The ECG app analyzes the heart's electrical activity to identify patterns indicative of AFib. It uses an algorithm to detect irregularities in the P-waves and R-R intervals.
The app allows users to generate a PDF report of their ECG readings, which includes a detailed view of the ECG waveform and relevant measurements.
Continuously monitors heart rate throughout the day and night, providing insights into resting heart rate, exercise heart rate, and heart rate variability.
The watch actively monitors your heart rhythm in the background and alerts you if it detects irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (Afib).
ECG data is securely stored on the user's smartphone and can be easily shared with healthcare professionals.
