    One UI 6 Watch will soon be available to a wider range of Galaxy Watch devices through the latest software update.1 Beginning to roll out today, the update will bring select features from the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch72 to previous generations of Galaxy Watch around the world including Galaxy Watch6, Galaxy Watch6 Classic, Galaxy Watch5, Galaxy Watch5 Pro, Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch4 Classic and Galaxy Watch FE.

    The One UI 6 Watch update offers personalized insights to even more users for a holistic and comprehensive understanding of health.3 With Energy Score, users can better understand their physical and mental conditions through an intuitive score calculated from various health metrics including sleep, activity, sleeping heart rate and sleeping heart rate variability. Users can also access personalized recommendations, powered by Galaxy AI,4 to support health improvement. For sleep tracking, receive a deeper and more accurate understanding of sleep with a detailed analysis powered by an advanced AI algorithm and new sleep metrics, including movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart rate and respiratory rate. Additionally, the De Novo FDA-authorized Sleep Apnea feature is now available on a wider range of Galaxy Watch devices, helping more users proactively spot potential signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea.

    The expansion of One UI 6 Watch empowers more users to stay motivated and conquer their fitness goals with personalized experiences. Monitor progress in real time when running or cycling with Race, which compares changes in current and past performance to encourage users to make improvements. Workout Routine allows users to combine various exercises and create personalized routines, uniquely tailored to their individual goals and preferences.

    Furthermore, the latest update provides new watch faces to best suit various needs or preferences that are both stylish and functional. For instance, use the Simple Digital watch face to reflect a minimalist design, or the Ultra Info Board watch face to check information at a glance without sacrificing style. The expansion of One UI 6 Watch also allows users to enjoy more seamless experiences with connected Galaxy devices. When paired with a compatible Galaxy smartphone, users can effortlessly send suitable responses with AI-powered Suggested replies. With simple and intuitive Double Pinch Gestures, a connected Galaxy smartphone can be easily controlled right from the wrist to answer calls, dismiss alarms, take photos and even more.

    1 The software update will come first to the Galaxy Watch6 series and then become available sequentially to previous generations. Feature availability and support may vary by market, carrier, model and paired smartphone.

  • Samsung Showcases Enhanced Portfolio at RSNA 2024

    Samsung Showcases Enhanced Portfolio at RSNA 2024

    Floor-mounted digital X-ray GF 85 and pediatric cardiac-specific ultrasound probe unveiled for the first time

    To strengthen its competitiveness across medical specialties, after the launch of a new OB & GYN ultrasound diagnostic system, HERA Z20, Samsung proposed ‘pediatric integrated solution’ encompassing the entire range of its medical diagnostic devices through this RSNA.

    In the ‘Ultrasound Zone,’ a dedicated probe for the pediatric cardiac diagnosis ‘TA2-9’ was unveiled for the first time at this exhibition. The TA2-9 with 42% smaller head than adult echocardiography probe aids in more accurate diagnosis for congenital heart disease or functional and structural abnormalities of heart through the oral route. Also on display was ‘L3-22’, a dedicated neonatal probe featuring a smaller head compared to an adult version offering a wide frequency range which enables pediatric body scan with a single device without the need to switch probes.

    All US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) cleared products of Samsung digital X-ray have ‘low dose’ capability making it more appropriate for diagnosis of children and adolescents where safety is particularly prioritized. Samsung’s proprietary S-Vue™ imaging engine reduces radiation exposure by up to 50% compared to systems without this technology.

    At this exhibition, Samsung launched a new ‘floor-mounted’ digital X-ray, GF 85. The new digital X-ray, GF 85 launched by Samsung is relatively affordable compared to ceiling-mounted type and cost-effective with the ability to be installed in a small space without ceiling construction. Moreover, it provides clear image quality even with low dose and is equipped with advanced AI diagnostic assistance feature, fully inheriting all the advantages of previous digital X-ray models.

    NeuroLogica Corp, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, includes the OmniTom Elite mobile computed tomography (CT) in its portfolio, useful for imaging pediatric patients and at point-of-care, facilitating rapid clinical decision making and reducing transport related risks. Mobile CT is already recognized for its utility, with 8 out of the top 10 U.S. pediatric hospitals (as ranked by U.S. News for 2024-2025) utilizing the technology.

    NeuroLogica’s OmniTom Elite with photon counting detector (PCD) technology showcased this year’s at RSNA delivers ultra high-resolution CT imaging at the point-of-care using FDA 510(k) cleared PCD technology, surpassing conventional CT methods that rely on energy integrating detectors. By utilizing photon counting detectors to measure the energy of each individual photon, this cutting-edge technology enhances contrast differentiation and virtual monoenergetic imaging, empowering radiologists with greater confidence in diagnosing patients.

    Samsung provides opportunity to gain clinical application tips of Samsung medical devices and engage in Q&A with the global experts through Lunch & Learn session. In this session, a global breast imaging expert, Dr. Nina Vincoff shared a screening program using Samsung breast ultrasound solution and the latest insights on the FDA’s mandate for breast density information provision and implementation of additional imaging examination recommendation for dense breast (effective on September 10, 2024).

    Dr. Farhad Farzanegan in Kasier Permanente South Sacramento health system U.S. presented a case study on hospital workflow improvement based on the result of CT intervention procedure using Samsung mobile full-body CT, BodyTom.

    In the booth, Dr. Jon Jacobson, a musculoskeletal radiology expert, conducted live scan using a premium ultrasound diagnostic device, RS85 Prestige introducing clearer image quality and more sophisticated AI diagnostic assistance feature.
