Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series gets ECG and blood pressure readings in the Philippines

Samsung Philippines has announced that the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro are now able to track your blood pressure and take ECG (electrocardiogram) readings in the country after certification clearance and a new firmware update.

ECG and blood pressure measurements only work with a paired Samsung phone, the latter requiring initial setup in the Samsung Health Monitor app with a real blood pressure monitor.

Once the initial reading is synced to the Health Monitor app, you’ll be able to measure your blood pressure through the Galaxy Watch5 series’ BioActive sensor and the two side buttons on the case that act as electrodes.
