Apple isn't the only tech giant looking to bring breakthrough health-tracking to its wearables. Samsung is hard at work exploring the development of continuous blood pressure monitoring and noninvasive blood glucose readings for its devices, according to a new Bloomberg report.
It's part of a larger push to bring game-changing health features to a range of devices, like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Ring, said Samsung executive Hon Pak, who is overseeing the effort. Currently, to get an accurate reading of your blood sugar or blood pressure levels, you need a dedicated clinical device. But Samsung, Apple and other tech giants are aiming to bring those and other health features to the smartwatches and fitness trackers that consumers already wear every day.
