Galaxy Ring, Samsung's ring, will detect sleep apnea
Although Samsung has announced two new smartwatches, the company is also focused on expanding the functionality of its smart ring, the Galaxy Ring. Apparently, the next big thing will arrive in the second half of this...
During the Unpacked event, held this week in London, Samsung revealed that the Galaxy Ring will now have a feature capable of detecting signs of sleep apnea.
At the presentation, Samsung executive Sharanya Desai stated that "Galaxy Ring will be the first and only ring-shaped device approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and available without a prescription to detect the risk of sleep apnea."
According to the SamMobile website, Samsung's smart watches have been capable, for some years, of identifying signs of sleep apnea by analyzing the user's breathing patterns during sleep.
Despite confirming the arrival of the new feature on the Galaxy Ring, the company has not yet revealed details about how the detection will be carried out.
It will be necessary to wait for more information, but the inclusion of this feature reinforces the potential of the Galaxy Ring — and other smart rings that may offer the same function — as an interesting alternative for those who prefer not to use smart watches.
