During a typical workout at a gym in Rio de Janeiro, Gallart experienced a sudden chest pain. Alarmed, he swiftly checked the electrocardiogram (ECG) feature on his Galaxy Watch6 and found four readings marked “Inconclusive heart rhythm.” Recognizing the seriousness of his condition, he rushed to the hospital where doctors discovered a complete blockage in one of his main coronary arteries and significant narrowing in two others. If untreated, his life was in jeopardy. “I was on the verge of a heart attack and could have collapsed at any moment,” he recalled. “The ECG feature was crucial in saving my life. Without that warning, I might not have sought help in time.”
On another occasion, during a flight from Las Vegas to Seoul, a passenger lost consciousness and became unresponsive. Fortunately, Dr. Jongmo Seo, a medical professor at Seoul National University Hospital, was on board. With medical equipment severely limited at 30,000 feet, Dr. Seo relied on a Galaxy Watch worn by a flight attendant to assist in the emergency. Utilizing the blood oxygen (SpO2) feature, he monitored the passenger’s oxygen saturation and pulse in real time. His primary concern was ensuring that the patient’s brain received adequate oxygen. Using the data, Dr. Seo provided emergency care until the passenger regained consciousness and stabilized. “Without the Galaxy Watch, my ability to respond would have been much more limited,” he noted. “Having access to real-time data allowed me to guide the emergency response more effectively.”
Every day, individuals like Gallart and Dr. Seo harness their Galaxy smartwatches to take control of their health-tracking exercise, sleep, nutrition, and more. Their trust in the Galaxy Watch fuels Samsung’s commitment to develop technology that is personal, powerful, and readily available when needed most. “We aim to help more people live healthier lives through our technology,” stated Jongmin Choi, Head of Health H/W R&D Group at Samsung Electronics. “It’s deeply rewarding to know that Galaxy Watches are saving lives in critical moments. We will continue to create innovations that genuinely make a difference for people everywhere.”
