Smart watch Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 they are not only an excellent supplement for monitoring sports activities, but also health functions. In Australia, even according to the portal SamMobile will serve in the fight against coronavirus.

The employee’s health will be monitored every morning before starting work

Samsung’s Australian subsidiary has announced that it is testing the Vital Monitoring System (VMS) solution of the re-open.com cloud platform on the Galaxy Watch 4 series. VMS (Vital Monitoring System) is a system designed for employers and employees. Its aim is to increase the safety of the workforce by collecting their health information through the health sensors of smart watches during a coronavirus pandemic.

For example, a heart rate and blood oxygenation (SpO2) sensor should be used. Thanks to this, employers and employees will have a comprehensive medical screening solution right from home. Employers will require employees to share health information from the Galaxy Watch 4 with VMS every morning before starting work. This will prevent other employees in the workplace from being endangered.

Health data will be encrypted and the employer will not have access to it

The data from the watch will be combined with other information collected through the survey. If the employee then passes the check, he will receive a QR code, which he can use to access his workplace. The processed data include temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen level and other health information. Of course, all of this health information is encrypted, and the only people who have had access to it are clinicians.

The employer alone cannot access or read encrypted health-related information. VMS only works as a health screening tool, which aims to reduce health risks in the workplace and increase safety when returning to work. This is not the way employers monitor the workforce. According to Samsung, the VMS screening tool complies with the highest standard of privacy regulations.
