Samsung has introduced its new updated BioActive sensor that will integrate into your next Galaxy Watch smartwatch and that it will have more accurate health measurements, in addition to advanced wellness prediction and prevention features, How is it AGE Index that allows users to identify their biological age to help them “make better decisions” to regain their healthy well-being.
The Korean tech company has already introduced the BioActive sensor on devices like the Galaxy Watch 4 in 2021 or the recently presented Galaxy Watch FE, so users can get health monitoring tools, as well as a variety of fitness and wellness features.
Now, the company has indicated that it continues to work to drive innovation in digital health with options that allow it to collect information and metrics that help users “ achieve a more complete and optimized wellness experience .”
In this context, Samsung presented its new updated BioActive sensor with which you will facilitate advanced functions of prediction and prevention of the well-being of users, and which the company will integrate into its next Galaxy Watch whose launch is scheduled for this Wednesday, alongside the series of foldable smartphones Galaxy Z.
Specifically, as the company explained in a statement on its blog, it is a new sensor that incorporates improvements focused on increasing the performance of the light-receiving photodiodes, adding more colors of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and distributing them optimally throughout the sensor.
Thus, the company indicated that Samsung’s engineering team has achieved double the performance of each photodiode used in the sensor, reducing the number needed to maintain capacity from eight to four . Thanks to this, space has been freed up and it has been possible to integrate a greater number and variety of LEDs .
As a result, the new BioActive sensor now integrates green, red and infrared LEDs, in addition to specially designed photodiodes and, with this, Samsung said it has reached “unexplored aspects of health monitoring for your wearable devices.”
As you defined it, this is a The sensor update sets new standards in wearable technology as it enables improved accuracy and delivers enhanced performance for many human health parameters.
For example, with the new BioActive sensor, users will be able to more accurately measure issues such as heart rate, sleep quality, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels , and stress levels. Even, according to the company, it is able to measure heart rate with 30% more accuracy during intensive training, compared to the previous sensor.

AGE INDEX FUNCTION
Following this line, Samsung has also developed that the more diversified colors of LEDs and the redesigned photodiodes open up new possibilities as they allow you to better predict trends and take proactive measures thanks to this, users can work on improved preventive care.
In this sense, the first of the functions that the BioActive sensor will facilitate will be an Index of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). That is, an indicator of metabolic health and biological aging influenced by general lifestyle and eating habits.
Taking this into account, the “smartwatch” will use this index as a biomarker and provide a snapshot of users’ biological age to help them make “the best decisions” about their well-being and their efforts to “work towards a healthier future.”
Samsung highlighted that the incorporation of the AGEs index is one of several advanced features planned for the upcoming Galaxy Watch device, which will bring new “more sophisticated and intelligent” health and wellness tools.
With all this, the new updated BioActive sensor will be included in the next Galaxy Watch smartwatch that Samsung is expected to present at its next Galaxy Unpacked event, which will take place this Wednesday, June 10 in Paris (France).
