On July 11, Samsung Electronics introduced its Galaxy wearable lineup, showcasing the enhanced AI healthcare technology.

 

The Galaxy wearable lineup, which includes the Galaxy Watch7, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Galaxy Ring, was announced in Paris, France.

 

The company showed its commitment to this enhancement by explaining that the main advantages of the products are the convenience of checking one’s health regularly and the ability to receive personalized, high-quality health management.

 

Furthermore, the products have been upgraded in terms of their design and functionality along with the AI health features.

 

Despite the simultaneous introduction of three new products, each has its unique technology for measuring the health conditions of an individual.

 

The Galaxy Ring focuses on analyzing one’s sleeping conditions.

 

Given that quality sleep is crucial to an individual’s well-being, the Galaxy Ring performs comprehensive analysis through improved algorithms to check vital biometrics such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and sleep patterns.

 

Unlike the complexity of its algorithm, all the user has to do is wear it on their finger.

 

Whatever the user's personal sleeping conditions, Galaxy Ring provides detailed information about small movements during sleep and possible discrepancies from their daily habits, supporting and encouraging the user to improve their sleep habits.

 

In addition to the health benefits, the Galaxy Ring is also very compatible with other Galaxy devices and can share its functions with ease.

 

A ‘double pinch’ gesture allows users to easily control the camera and alarms on a connected Galaxy smartphone, and the Samsung Find app can help locate the Galaxy Ring using the smartphone.

 

Secondly, the Galaxy Watch7 is the latest in the series and has the most advanced health features yet within the Galaxy wearable lineup.

 

It includes the first-ever measurement of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), a health indicator that analyzes biological aging along with its function to detect sleep apnea, which has been approved by both the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the U.S. FDA.

 

Lastly, Samsung has its wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds3.

 

The product made a comeback with a new design after three years of tranquility.

 

They incorporated a stem-like design similar to Apple AirPods, and emphasized the new design to be carefully designed for comfort through countless data analyses and simulations.

 

The Galaxy Buds3 series also includes AI features that allow users to control functions like music playback and answering calls by simply speaking. The earbuds offer active noise cancellation, which optimizes sound quality by analyzing external noise and the wearer’s status in real-time.

 

Samsung Electronics plans to dominate the healthcare market through its enhanced technology and the expansion of the wearable lineup.

 

The Galaxy Ring will be available in Titanium Black, Silver, and Gold, with nine size options.

 

The Galaxy Watch7, on the other hand, comes in two sizes and three different colors that correspond to each size - green and silver for 44mm and green and cream for 40mm.

 

Finally, the Galaxy Buds3 will be available in two different colors: silver and white.
