The Galaxy Ring is Samsung’s first wearable for your finger and works well with the company’s ecosystem. The device gathers information about your sleep and activity when you wear it to provide you with an AI-powered Energy Score. You can also measure your stress with the Samsung Health app. This guide shows you how the Samsung Galaxy Ring measures stress levels to help you manage it better.
How the Galaxy Ring measures stress levels
The Galaxy Ring has a BioActive sensor to monitor your heart rate and an infrared temperature sensor to track your skin temperature changes during sleep. The BioActive sensor features a single chip with three sensors: an Optical Heart Rate sensor, an Electrical Heart sensor, and a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). It tracks the metrics and sends them to your phone.
Features like Galaxy AI health recommendations and Energy Score are only available on Samsung Galaxy phones with Android 11 and above.
You can view your wellness information on your phone from the Samsung Health app, which is like a hub for all your health insights from the ring. The application analyzes your heart rate and temperature changes to measure your stress levels. It also provides a guided deep breathing exercise if you’re feeling stressed.
