Samsung Watch may soon get access to potent new health features. The next Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra may have family health tracking, continuous glucose monitoring, and an AGEs (advanced glycation end products) index

Also, the Watch 7 Ultra resembles a larger, badder watch with a squircle case and a circular watch face. The hefty watch revealed in leaked drawings appears to be the company’s response to the Apple Watch Ultra, including a third button that may serve a similar function to Apple’s Action Button.
Let’s See the Samsung Watch powerful Health features:
AGEs Index
An AGE index provides an overview of metabolic health and the biological aging process because these are substances that accumulate as you age. The Galaxy Watch can now detect the creation of AGEs chemicals in your body as protein and fat molecules are oxidized by sugar molecules.
Diagnostics, which powers the feature, states that “AGEs play a pivotal role in the development of chronic age-related diseases such as diabetes, renal failure, and cardiovascular disease.”
Family health tracking
Finally, it looks like Samsung is trying to enable family health data sharing with Galaxy Watches. You’ll be able to monitor your child’s or family member’s health tracking data using a screen that displays a breakdown of vital statistics.
Glucose Monitoring
Another likely function of the Galaxy Watch 7 is blood glucose monitoring. The UI interface displays the function, but it lacks any data, making it difficult to determine what it is measuring. This is a notion we heard from Bloomberg before, albeit the timescale claimed that non-invasive blood glucose monitoring could take up to five years to reach the market in “some form.”
The motto here is “non-invasive.” Currently, diabetics can only measure this with a blood glucose meter, which involves piercing the skin with a needle and placing a drop of blood on a test strip. Obviously, that is not something you want your smartwatch to accomplish, so Samsung will have to figure out how to estimate this amount without breaking skin while being accurate.
Samsung is addressing these with built-in security and privacy controls. The following are permitted for the parent Samsung account with an approval process, but your child or family member must have their own Galaxy Watch and wear it frequently enough to maintain the metrics supplied. Naturally, this creates some privacy concerns.
