Ahead of the launch, the alleged photos and specs of the Galaxy Watch 7 series have already leaked. Now, a new leak suggests that the Galaxy Watch 7 could track early signs of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and more.
The Watch 7 could offer an AGE index feature to track early signs of age-related diseases
Folks over at Android Authority have found a UI for a new feature called the AGEs (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) index in the Samsung Health app. This feature could enable the Watch 7 series to track early signs of age-related diseases. There are clues in the code regarding how the brand could deliver some sort of tracking for cardiovascular risk. The company will implement the AGEs index feature to provide advanced health tracking.
AGEs are thought to play an essential role in the development of chronic age-related diseases. They are linked to various health conditions like diabetes, stroke, and heart attack. With the AGEs index feature, users of Watch 7 could create an index of data gathered by their wearable. It will be available on their smartphones with the Samsung Health app.
The upcoming Galaxy smartwatches could measure AGEs optically and non-invasively
It looks like the Galaxy Watch 7 series of smartwatches may be able to measure these AGEs optically and non-invasively. The readings from the AGEs index will allow users to monitor the risk of various diseases like diabetes. The leaked UI in the Health app suggests that the company has partnered with DiagnOptics to develop this functionality.
Besides the AGE index-based advanced health tracking, the Watch 7 series could also feature blood glucose monitoring. However, there aren’t many details available about how the brand will implement it. That said, we will know more in just a matter of a few days, so watch this space for regular updates.
