In the era of smartwatches, it’s great to see manufacturers focusing on more health-oriented features. With advanced sensors and internet connectivity readily available, there’s no better time for manufacturers to implement new features designed for wellness. One such feature is blood pressure sync.
For those who may not know, blood pressure sync is a function that automatically transmits your blood pressure reading from your wrist-worn device to an online account. From there, you can monitor your progress over time and see how you measure up compared to the rest of the population. It’s pretty easy!
So, let’s have a look at how to enable blood pressure sync on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
How Does Blood Pressure Sync Work?
Blood pressure sync only works if you have an advanced blood pressure monitor. These can be purchased online or in-store at select retailers. Once you have your blood pressure monitor at home, all you need to do is put it on, connect it to the Galaxy Watch 4 and wait while it takes your blood pressure.
From there, your blood pressure data is automatically transferred to Samsung’s online service and stored in your account. So, even when you don’t have your Galaxy Watch on you can still access your blood pressure data! What’s neat about blood pressure sync is that you can also share your data with other health apps like Apple Health or Google Fit.
This not only makes it easier to track your progress over time, but you can also compare your results to other people who are also tracking their blood pressure using the same app.
Steps to enable blood pressure sync on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
- Create a Samsung Account if you don’t have one.
- Then, you’ll need to link your Samsung account to a health app like Apple Health or Google Fit.
- To do so, open the Galaxy Wear app and tap on “Health.” Here, you can see a list of all the health apps compatible with your Galaxy Watch.
- If you haven’t linked your Samsung account to a health app yet, tap “Sign In” and follow the prompts to log into your Samsung account. Then, select the health app you want to use.
- Now, it’s time to enable blood pressure sync! Make sure your blood pressure monitor is connected to the Galaxy Watch 4.
- Then, go to the “Body” tab in the Galaxy Wear app and tap on “Hypertension.”
- If blood pressure sync is available on your watch, you’ll see an “Enable” button next to your blood pressure reading. Tap on it and you’re done!
From now on your blood pressure, data will automatically be sent to Samsung Health and stored in your account. You can view your blood pressure readings as well as compare them to the rest of the population by logging into your Samsung account.
