BP monitor on ScanWatch

Will the Scanwatch be able to track BP readings like the Samsung?

 

"Samsung’s latest health tracking app for its Galaxy Watch wearables promises easy, on the go blood pressure monitoring. The trick is that you need to calibrate the initial measurement with a stand-alone blood pressure monitor. During that procedure, you'll need to start your Galaxy Watch's blood pressure tacking feature which relies on the optical heart-rate sensor to measure your blood pressure through pulse wave analysis. Samsung recommends using the Galaxy Watch Active2 for the monitoring and that you repeat the calibration process once a month to ensure accurate readings."

 

Does the Scanwatch have an optical heart-rate sensor capable of "pulse wave analysis"? If so will Withings be able to add this to there app? 

 

I have a stand alone BP monitor so I could calibrate it and check it regularly

    Hello, 

     

    Currently, ScanWatch is not able to monitor blood pressure. You will find all the functionalities of the watch here. ScanWatch can, for example, monitor your daily heart rate, record electrocardiograms, detect atrial fibrillation and calculate your oxygen saturation. 

     

    If you have any other questions about ScanWatch’s functionalities, feel free to ask!

     

    Happy Thursday,

    Based on the video I saw on YouTube, The watch can record ECG but not blood pressure. I heard they are using this PPG sensor to record heart rate. It would be great if they will use Pulse Wave analysis in the future for their watches, just like on their Body Cardio scale.

    I found this article on their website https://support.withings.com/hc/fr/articles/360004569978-ScanWatch-Questions-fr%C3%A9quentes-concernant-la-mesure-de-la-fr%C3%A9quence-cardiaque hope that helps.

    It won't do BP.  But, the Galaxy Watch doesn't do it accurately, and required calibration with an actual BP cuff every 3 to 4 weeks.

    That being the case, you may as well just use your cuff for BP measurements!  Galaxy is a gimmick.

    I didn't know that withthing scanwatch wouldn't monitor BP. However, heart rate and ecg functions are good. Like all the functions of this watch. :)
