While the fainting spell itself is typically not life-threatening, sudden falls can cause severe secondary injuries like fractures or concussions, making early prediction critically important for prevention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cUp to 40% of people experience vasovagal syncope over their lifetime, with one-third experiencing recurrent episodes,&#8221; said Professor Junhwan Cho of the Department of Cardiology at Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital. &#8220;An early warning could give patients advance time to get into a safe position or call for help, which would dramatically reduce the incidence of secondary injuries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The joint research team, led by Professor Cho, conducted evaluations on 132 patients with suspected VVS symptoms during induced fainting tests. Using a Galaxy Watch equipped with a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, the team analyzed the watch\u2019s heart rate variability (HRV) data with an AI algorithm. The model successfully predicted impending fainting\u00a0episodes\u00a0up to five minutes in advance with\u00a084.6 percent accuracy, at a clinically meaningful sensitivity of 90 percent and a specificity of 64 percent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThis study is an example of how wearable technology can help shift healthcare from being designed for \u2018post-care\u2019 to a model of \u2018preventive care,\u2019\u201d said Jongmin Choi, Head of Health R&amp;D Group, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business, Samsung Electronics. \u201cWe are committed to driving technological innovation that empowers our users to lead healthier everyday lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The research findings were <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ehjdh\/article\/7\/4\/ztag053\/8586837\">published<\/a> in Volume 7, Issue 4 of \u201cEuropean Heart Journal \u2013 Digital Health,\u201d a leading medical journal, and they represent the world&#8217;s first study to successfully demonstrate the potential for a commercial smartwatch to provide early prediction of syncope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Samsung plans to further advance the health monitoring capabilities of its wearable portfolio and expand collaboration with leading medical institutions.
