Samsung seems to be developing AI-powered atrial fibrillation monitoring for Galaxy Watch 7. A new patent application reveals that the company is working on a feature, which will use artificial intelligence for atrial fibrillation monitoring.
A new patent discloses that Samsung is developing AI-accurate AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) monitoring, probably for the Galaxy Watch 7. The current state of the feature’s development doesn’t authenticate that the Galaxy Watch 7 will be equipped with it.
If the Galaxy Watch 7 misses out on this life-saving feature, Samsung will surely introduce it with future wearables. With the Generative AI integrated, this advanced smartwatch feature could translate photoplethysmograph (PPG) signals into ECG signals for accurate results.
Phonearena’s report highlights that AFib is a very dangerous condition, which causes irregular and rapid heartbeats. As disclosed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier, AFib hospitalizes over 400,000 people in the US yearly.
Apart from this, the Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to be equipped with non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. If the South Korean tech giant manages to gain approval for this feature, it will significantly boost the sales of Galaxy Watch 7 smartwatches.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 cover display design appears to be inspired by Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung insider posted a video of the alleged Galaxy Z Fold 6 screen glass, showcasing a squarish design with ditched rounded corners.
IceUniverse leaked out the cover screen design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 through tempered film. The third-party accessory indicates the S24 Ultra screen design could be seen in Samsung’s next foldable phone.
The tempered film lacks inner rounded corners seen in the previous foldables by Samsung. It means the display visibility area will be increased to reach the squarish form, introducing an enhanced design language.
Bezels surrounding the screen might also go thinner, thanks to generational enhancements. The screen ratio is also getting improved as part of offering a better user experience and making the cover screen even more user-centric.
