New report details Samsung’s bold Apple-beating health care vision for the future،

While Samsung and Apple are engaged in fierce battles for global supremacy on several different fronts of the broader tech industry, the health surveillance war between the two giants might be the most fascinating, hotly contested, and likely the most consequential of all.

It's no secret that both companies have incredibly ambitious plans for the future of wearable devices, seeking to not only diversify the shapes and types of products you rely on to track your vital functions and well-being. be day by day, but more importantly, with the aim of significantly improving their capabilities, accuracy, reliability and impact on your health.

This may sound like empty words or exaggerated marketing claims that will probably never be supported in real life, but at least when it comes to Samsung's vision for the near and not-so-near future, a few goals stand out. appear clear and very specific.

Non-invasive blood sugar monitoring will arrive (in some form) 'within five years'

We're talking about putting a blood glucose monitor on a consumer wearable device without actually drawing blood, pricking your skin, or causing any discomfort to the user. This is clearly an incredibly difficult task for a number of reasons, but Samsung is confident the job can be accomplished… in the not-so-distant future, although details on how all the technical challenges will ultimately be overcome remain unknown. complete mystery.

Admittedly, it's not yet clear whether Apple has opted for a unique vision and method to integrate a non-invasive glucose sensor into one of its next-generation smartwatches, but rumors suggest it could happen ( one way or another) as early as this year, which means Samsung is probably a step or two (or a dozen) behind its main rival when it comes to this particular healthcare technology.

Continuous blood pressure monitoring is also underway

But it's still early days, and unsurprisingly, Samsung is working tirelessly to take the technology to the next level…sooner or later. The goal, of course, is to allow you to keep tabs on your blood pressure all day (and night) without ever needing anything other than a Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Ring, or Galaxy Buds.
That's right, these vastly improved sensors could be integrated into a wide range of Samsung products in the future, although something tells us that they will probably be integrated first into one of the company's upcoming smartwatches. business. Maybe even the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 7 Classic later this year.

Unlike the field of blood sugar monitoring, Samsung's blood pressure technology debut could certainly allow it to push the feature to a truly revolutionary stage, long before Apple can do the same. But of course, you can never know exactly how far the Cupertino-based tech giant has progressed in internal development of a potentially revolutionary technology until that technology is revealed to the public.

What's really nice to hear is that both giants are looking for crucial ways to help their users live better and longer. That, our friends, is way more important than a new camera, a RAM upgrade, and even all those massively advertised AI skills and features.
