Blood pressure on watch

[LZB302]

Today I got the update on my watch but not on my phone! So I've done little surfing & found the Samsung Health Monitor apk online for the phone via apkmirror.com for it to work - vers-1.4.7.003! To download you have to go into settings & turn off auto blocker! Then download & install! Then it works! To allow sync between the SHM & SH apps open the SHM app on your phone go to settings & select data permissions & allow Samsung Health to sync & connect! It works great! You can do the calibration before doing the sync settings! I did the calibration with my cuff then took another reading after about 15 minutes & they were within couple points! Great tracker & synced perfectly

It would be helpful to know what watch and phone you are using.

I have an S26U and watch 8 classic and it works perfectly too.

BTW, I didn't have to sideload health monitoring to my phone.

Watch is the Ultra 7, phone is S25 ultra! On tmobile!

It just got approved by the FDA this month. Give it some time, and you will get the update soon.

It's not approved by fda! Sam4is releasing it as a tracking tool, not as a certified BP reader!

It's a bit confusing. It says authorized by FDA not sure if it's for ECG or sleep apnea or BP.

I suspect Samsung was attempting to attain FDA approved for BPM as an official health diagnostic tool, like Apple Watches, but had to opt for it being a "wellness feature".

They did so for too many years with the FDA since 2020, but they didn't get cleared because Apple didn't have it in their watch. But now Apple just added it and got cleared, so I think Samsung lost hope and released it as a wellness feature.
