A skin temperature-based sensor was recently added to the Galaxy Watch 5 to monitor menstrual cycles.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 5 series includes a menstrual health tracker based on skin temperature. It has been reported that the tech giant is currently developing additional health-tracking features that use skin temperature. There is currently no additional information about the update. Meanwhile, 32 countries (including Korea, the US, and Europe) now have access to the menstrual cycle tracking feature. Thanks to an integrated infrared temperature sensor, it tracks menstrual cycles with pinpoint precision.
A Samsung representative in charge of the Samsung Health Service has stated on the Korean Samsung community forum that the company plans to incorporate the skin temperature sensor into more of the company’s health monitoring offerings. According to the announcement, the device will receive a software update to enable the new temperature sensor features. However, he must provide additional information about the forthcoming health tracking features or their release schedule.
Meanwhile, Samsung has released the menstrual tracking sensor for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which works by measuring changes in the wearer’s skin temperature. This function employs infrared technology to monitor temperature fluctuations and precisely assess the menstrual cycle. The Samsung Health app provides access.
