Samsung has officially announced the availability of its Sleep Apnea feature in Malaysia, now accessible through the Samsung Health Monitor app on the Galaxy Watch series. This innovative addition marks another step forward in Samsung’s mission to empower users with advanced health-tracking tools that contribute to overall well-being.
The introduction of the Sleep Apnea feature in Malaysia follows the receipt of the Medical Device Registration Certificate from the Medical Device Authority (MDA), a certification that underscores Samsung’s compliance with the nation’s strict health, safety, and environmental protection standards. This recognition not only solidifies Samsung’s leadership in sleep technology but also reflects the company’s dedication to improving user health through scientific and medically approved innovations. In addition to Malaysia, the feature has also received approval from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration and Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority, further validating its global reliability and accuracy.
This achievement builds upon Samsung’s earlier milestone when the company received De Novo authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It was the first time a wearable device had been authorized to detect signs of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, positioning Samsung as a trailblazer in the field of wearable health technology. The feature has also gained approval from Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Brazil’s health regulatory agency ANVISA, and Health Canada, signifying its international acceptance and compliance with global medical standards.
Sleep plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health, and Samsung continues to prioritize this aspect through its ecosystem of connected devices and digital wellness features. By introducing the Sleep Apnea function, Samsung enables users to identify potential symptoms of this common yet often undiagnosed condition early on. This early detection can help prevent more serious health complications linked to sleep apnea, such as cardiovascular issues and fatigue-related risks.
Samsung’s approach to sleep health goes beyond simple monitoring. The company provides users with comprehensive insights into their sleep patterns, personalized coaching, and recommendations for optimizing their sleep environment. The addition of the Sleep Apnea feature further enhances this ecosystem, giving users a more complete understanding of their sleep quality and encouraging proactive steps toward better rest and overall health.
In celebration of this milestone, Samsung is offering limited-time rebates and promotions on the Galaxy Watch Series until 31 October. Customers can enjoy up to 30% off selected watch bands and enhanced trade-in deals worth up to RM250. The promotion covers a wide range of models, including the Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic, and the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra. Those who purchase the Galaxy Watch Ultra will also receive exclusive gifts such as a Galaxy SmartTag2 worth RM149, a 15W power adapter, and a 10,000mAh battery pack, adding even greater value to the purchase.
The new Sleep Apnea feature reinforces Samsung’s commitment to delivering meaningful innovations that make a difference in people’s daily lives. By expanding access to this FDA-authorized technology, Samsung empowers users around the world to take control of their sleep health and make informed choices for a healthier future.
