The technology company Samsung, together with the Instituto do Coração of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (InCor), made the announcement of a partnership for the Galaxy Watch 4 to form part of a project that will carry out remote monitoring of patients who have just undergone surgeries in the heart.

This remote monitoring will use part of the resources that are already present in the smartwatch, such as calculating the steps taken by the patient, the oxygen saturation of the blood, the heart rate and the blood pressure of the patient. Taking all this information will compose the preoperative and postoperative reports.
“The purpose of this research project is to allow, with due prior authorization, patients to be assisted through data collected by the Galaxy Watch 4. This platform will allow that, even outside the hospital environment, they will continue to be monitored during their treatment, facilitating the identification of possible risk situations, thus enabling preventive medical actions", commented the Innovation manager of Samsung Brazil's research and development area, Luis Guilherme Selber.
Galaxy Watch 4 monitored BBB 22 participants
This partnership has a fixed period of 14 months, but there is a chance to implement monitoring of this nature in other areas of the SUS. Samsung used this type of monitoring with the Galaxy Watch 4 model in the participants of Big Brother Brasil 2022.
In order to use the device in the most watched house in Brazil, the technicians altered the device in order to remove all the interactions with social networks and other applications, thus promoting complete isolation of players from the reality.
Among the changes made, the connection made exclusively via Wi-Fi and with the screen always off was applied, even to increase the battery of the device. Each model that was used in the reality show had the ability to monitor data for up to 24 hours straight. In addition, the model was changed once a day to recharge the device.
