New AI-Driven Health Devices Announced by Samsung at Paris Galaxy Unpacked

At Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris, the company unveiled several new AI-powered health devices, including the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The Galaxy Ring is Samsung's first health ring designed to collect comprehensive health data 24/7. Equipped with three sensors, it monitors sleep patterns, heart health, activity levels, and provides personalized insights via the Samsung Health app. The ring features a sleep AI algorithm and syncs with the app to alert users of unusual heart rate readings. The Galaxy Ring is priced at $399 and boasts a battery life of up to seven days on a single charge.


Samsung also introduced the Galaxy Watch Ultra, which comes with new BioActive Sensors designed to enhance health measurements and athletic tracking capabilities. These sensors have been upgraded to improve the accuracy of health metrics such as blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, stress levels, and heart rate. Notably, the Watch Ultra includes an emergency siren and has received U.S. FDA clearance for ECG and De Novo authorization for sleep apnea detection. The watch will retail starting at $649.


Additionally, Samsung announced the Galaxy AI-powered Energy Score feature in the Samsung Health app. This feature provides personalized insights into users' health by analyzing sleep metrics and heart rate variability, offering tailored wellness tips to improve their Energy Score. This guidance covers areas like exercise, sleep, and weight management.


The event also saw the introduction of the Galaxy Watch 7, which shares many features with the Watch Ultra but lacks advanced athletic tracking and the emergency siren. The Watch 7, focused more on wellness, will retail for $299. All the newly announced devices will be available for purchase starting July 24th, expanding Samsung's range of health-focused wearables and reinforcing its commitment to leveraging AI for better health outcomes.
