Untold Stories:Galaxy Watch4 & Body Composition.Samsung 2 By Samsung 2

Bioelectrical impedance analysis, BIA is a method of measuring body composition. It uses a weak electric current to find the amount of water stored in the body most body. Water is stored in muscle, and water has low electrical resistance or impedance. If a person has low impedance, the results will indicate there is more water and thus more muscle tissue. Now, why is that important? The core benefits of measuring body composition is that your weight doesn't reflect the amount of muscle, fat and water in your body tissues, and by measuring these over time you can adjust your diet and your activity level to get these measures into a healthy range for years, Samsung has been working to make BIA technology more accessible, so we wanted to integrate it with a device that we all use every day. So more people can regularly track their health.

At first, we tried adding it to phone cases and wristbands. We even tried to incorporate the technology onto remote controllers, but given how closely body composition is tied to fitness and exercise, we realized that the best device to deliver this technology was the galaxy watch. Most body composition. Analyzers have large electrodes that help improve accuracy by reducing contact impedance with the skin. That's why these devices use our palms and the soles of our feet for readings, but in order to include electrodes in the galaxy watch, we needed to drastically reduce the size of the electrodes without sacrificing accuracy, normally the larger the electrode the easier to get an accurate reading.

But to give you accurate readings, even with small electrodes on the watch, we experimented relentlessly and devised the best hardware and solution we developed a circuit with multiple switches which can open and close in 16 different combinations per tenth of a second in 15 seconds. Galaxy watch measures, electric currents, 2 400 times to estimate body composition, our new solution, analyzes, how closely the electrodes come into contact with the skin as well as the amount of impedance at any moment. So the watch can accurately estimate your body composition in consideration of technological accuracy and design. We also applied a thin conductive material to the side electrodes, as well as an ultra-thin chromium silicon, carbon nitride layer to the back of the watch. When you wear the galaxy watch, the two electrodes on the back naturally come into contact with your skin.

If you hold the side electrodes of the watch with two fingers, the BIA sensors send and receive electrical signals that measure body composition. Data. The results are undeniable. With a correlation of 98 percent galaxy watch, BIA measurements are as accurate as those from DEXA scans. The gold standard of body composition, measurements trusted by industry.

Experts Samsung always strives to make products that consumers can rely on. That's why we're collaborating closely with many renowned institutions that specialize in body composition, analysis to improve our solutions, accuracy and our products, reliability, contrary to popular belief, health changes, good or bad aren't sudden they are gradual, and we hardly notice them as they happen. Galaxy watch gives you all the tools you need, so you can make positive changes that work for you and now, with daily body composition, measurements at your fingertips. You can meet a better you every day.
