Galaxy Watch 5 with better cycle tracking
Samsung provides the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 in the Netherlands with a new function that can come in handy for women. It’s about tracking the menstrual cycle. This can already be monitored with Samsung’s smartwatch, but it can be a lot smarter, the company believes. It will now partner with Natural Cycles, equipping the Galaxy Watch 5 with temperature-based cycle tracking.
With the fertility technology of Natural Cycles and the various sensors in the Galaxy Watch 5, a more detailed insight into the menstrual cycle can be given. Samsung shares the following about this;
Galaxy Watch5 users can access the advanced cycle tracking through the Cycle Tracking functionality, which was recently approved by the Ministry of Food and Medicine Safety (MFDS) of the Republic of Korea. The Cycle Tracking functionality is also registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and meets the requirements of the CE mark.
“Now you can easily monitor your menstrual cycle from your wrist because we combine Natural Cycles’ innovative fertility technology with Samsung’s advanced temperature sensor. This gives you a more holistic insight into your health and well-being.” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “This is a good example of our open collaboration philosophy and how we develop better health solutions together with other industry leaders.”
The functionality will be rolled out in Q2 2023. The feature will be offered in the Samsung Health app for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in the following countries; Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
