The research also showcased the analysis of both the smartwatch and medical tools all together. As it was seen, the readings on both devices were somewhat very similar.
The analysis went down at Samsung’s very own medical centre and apparently, Samsung also paid for the research. A set of people thought that the analysis were rigged. However, the research was laid out in the observation of around 6 medical professionals.
The main highlight of the study was the competence of Galaxy 4’s Blood Oxygen sensor – located at the back of the watch. The readings it showed were correct and it can help the user track their health conditions. That too without having to go for regular checkups.
