Users report that their eSIMs are failing without any apparent reason.
The organization is showcasing a medical achievement, but if there are intentions to make this widely accessible, additional efforts will likely be necessary.
Samsung has revealed a notable enhancement in its Galaxy Watch’s preventative health functionalities, particularly its capability to anticipate fainting episodes. In partnership with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital in Korea, the Galaxy Watch 6 has exhibited the ability to predict fainting spells with an 84.6% accuracy rate, roughly five minutes prior to their occurrence. This advancement was realized through a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor that monitors heart rate variability and an AI algorithm designed to forecast potential fainting incidents.
This milestone is a part of Samsung’s extensive plan to improve the preventative care functionalities of its wearable technology. Although the current predictive accuracy is not flawless, the organization aims to further refine this technology. Samsung’s collaboration with healthcare professionals underscores the significant role that wearables could play in personal health tracking and preventative healthcare.
Professor Junhwan Cho from the Department of Cardiology at the medical facility highlighted the significance of this innovation, stating that up to 40% of individuals experience vasovagal syncope, with one-third experiencing recurrent occurrences. While fainting itself may not pose an immediate threat to life, the falls that can result from it may cause severe injuries, making prediction essential for safety.
Samsung intends to broaden the health monitoring functionalities of its wearables, though obstacles persist before such features can be widely adopted. The company has already rolled out other health-oriented functionalities, such as identifying premature heartbeats and assessing vascular load, which can provide users with insights regarding possible heart health concerns and recommend lifestyle modifications.
As Samsung progresses in this domain, the potential for wearables to assume a crucial role in preventative healthcare appears increasingly encouraging. Nonetheless, additional development and trials are crucial to guarantee that these features are dependable and accessible to a wider audience.
DFRobot has introduced a 6.67-inch flexible AMOLED display with a 2400Ã1080 resolution, designed for easy use with single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi and LattePanda. While flexible displays are common in smartphones, they are difficult to interface with SBCs, so DFRobot added a dedicated MIPI-to-HDMI driver board for plug-and-play compatibility with a wider range of platforms. The panel is just 1.2mm thick and bendable, enabling curved and space-constrained designs, while delivering 450 cd/m² brightness and 16.7 million colors. Like typical OLEDs, it offers deep blacks and high contrast without requiring a backlight, making it suitable for applications ranging from wearables and robotics to industrial HMI systems. DFRobot 6.67” flexible AMOLED Display specifications: Compatibility â Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, Orange Pi, and most devices with an HDMI output. Display Panel Screen Size – 6.67 inches Screen Material â Flexible AMOLED Resolution â 2400 x 1080 (SPR – Sub-Pixel Rendering) Aspect Ratio […]

Features such as Fitbit badges, Community Feed, and Sleep Profiles may soon be eliminated.
With the debut of its new Fitbit Air, Google’s alternative to the Whoop band, Google has also revealed that the Fitbit app will evolve into the new Google Health platform. However, this transition implies that several classic Fitbit features will be discontinued.
Google has outlined in a support document what the revamped Google Health app will offer, but it seems that some familiar features will not be included (via 9to5Google). A significant change is the removal of Sleep Profile and its animal-themed summaries.
Rather than displaying your sleep history for the past month, Google is adopting a more AI-centric method through Google Health Premium, allowing you to inquire about your sleep habits. Google also mentions that the snore detection feature will be discontinued for Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 users.
The Google Health app will enable users to monitor their oxygen saturation levels utilizing the SpO2 data.
Like many AI companies automating work that humans currently do, Basata will eventually face a harder question about where the line is between augmenting workers and displacing them. For now, the founders say the administrative staff they work with aren’t worried about that; they’re more worried about drowning.
