Galaxy Watch Will Detect Heart Failure Symptoms with AI

Samsung has announced a new heart health feature coming to the Galaxy Watch line. The Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) detection tool has received approval in South Korea.

Samsung has developed new artificial intelligence algorithms that will allow its smartwatches to detect symptoms of heart failure. The company collaborated with Medical AI, a leading AI-based ECG technology company in South Korea, for this new heart health feature.

Will Detect Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

The Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction detection tool relies on the existing electrocardiogram (ECG) function, which is already used to monitor a user’s blood pressure and heart rate.

Samsung smartwatches will be able to detect an early sign of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD). According to Samsung, this heart condition is behind approximately 50% of all heart failure cases. The company suggests that the early diagnosis of the disease can reduce the risk of death, though it does not support this claim with any data.

The LVSD detection tool was developed in partnership with the Korean medical device company Medical AI. Its algorithm is based on data collected from over 120,000 patients in Korean hospitals and has been approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). This makes the Samsung Galaxy Watch the first watch to offer a certified LVSD detection tool.

Samsung’s LVSD detection tool will initially be rolled out to Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch Ultra owners in Korea. It is not yet clear if or when the feature will be approved for use in other markets, such as North America or Europe.
