Samsung announced that a joint study with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital in Korea found that the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 can predict vasovagal syncope (VVS) or sudden fainting episodes using health data collected by the smartwatch. According to Samsung, the system was able to predict fainting episodes up to five minutes before they happened with 84.6% accuracy. Professor Junhwan Cho from Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital said early warnings could help patients get into a safer position or ask for help before fainting. The brand calls it the first study to show that a commercial smartwatch can predict fainting episodes in advance. While usually not dangerous on its own, fainting can cause injuries from falls.
