Samsung Galaxy Watch can measure stress levels

In the modern world, where the pace of life is extremely fast and stressful, it is important to be able to control your stress levels. Samsung Galaxy Watch becomes your reliable assistant in this difficult task.

Here's What We Know

Using built-in technology, the Galaxy Watch can analyse your heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) to help you get a stress level estimate. While these measurements can only be approximate, they provide useful information about general stress trends. Samsung will measure your stress levels with the Galaxy Watch 4.

The Galaxy Watch offers two ways to measure stress: manual and automatic. You can measure your stress manually at a time that suits you, or you can set the watch to measure it continuously. These features help you monitor your well-being and respond to stressful situations.

Although the stress levels measured by Galaxy Watch are only approximations, they can serve as an important indicator of your physiological state.

Here are a few tips to follow to ensure accurate results:

1. Before measuring your stress level, wipe and clean the sensor on your Galaxy Watch.
2. Sit still during the measurement, avoid squeezing or moving your hand with the watch.
3. Allow yourself 30 minutes of rest before taking your measurement, especially after physical activity.
4. Make sure the watch strap is properly closed and has an optimal fit on your wrist.
5. Do not measure your stress level if your body temperature is higher or lower than normal. Also, avoid measuring if the outside temperature deviates significantly from the room temperature.
6. Check that the software on your Galaxy Watch and the Samsung Health app is up to date.
