• Samsung Wallet: Last year, Samsung Wallet combined Samsung Pay with Samsung Pass to consolidate more of users’ wallets on their smartphones. Now, Samsung Wallet will come to the new Galaxy Watch series too. With the all-in-one Samsung Wallet app, users can easily make payments, provide IDs and pull up show tickets² right on their smartwatch.
• Thermo Check: Thanks to the new Skin Temperature API — a part of Samsung’s Privileged Health software development kit (SDK) — partners can now take full advantage of the Galaxy Watch’s advanced infrared technology for temperature measurements. The new Thermo Check app allows users to easily measure the temperature of their surroundings, from meals they are about to eat to water they are about to swim in, all without any physical contact required. It’ll be available first on the upcoming Galaxy Watch devices and later expanded to Galaxy Watch5 series.³
• WhatsApp: In a new expansion of the unified Wear OS ecosystem, Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch4 users can now use WhatsApp’s first-ever smartwatch app. The app will let users continue conversations, reply to messages by voice and even answer calls, all without needing to take out their phones.⁴

Through the introduction of these new features, Samsung Galaxy Watch series will gain more versatile functions and a more streamlined usability. With still more to be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked on July 26 at 8 p.m. KST / 7 a.m. EST, Samsung continues to make more of the wider app ecosystem available on its Galaxy Watch series and maximize users’ experience.

“Samsung is dedicated to delivering a comprehensive health experience and empowering users to reach their wellness goals. Now more than ever, we believe this starts with getting a good night’s sleep,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “The new One UI 5 Watch continues our ongoing commitment to help people improve the quality of their sleep, so they can start each day fully recharged and ready for the day.”

Better Sleep: Essential to Better Health

Samsung has focused its efforts on three key elements for better sleep: understanding personal sleep patterns, building healthy habits and establishing a sleep-friendly environment. One UI 5 Watch delivers on these elements with an even more complete sleep experience.

The new Sleep Insights UI prominently displays the user’s sleep score to provide a clearer snapshot of the prior night’s rest, followed by related metrics like sleep phases, snoring hours and blood oxygen levels. In addition, Sleep Coaching — tailored around eight different sleep types² — also becomes fully accessible directly on Galaxy Watch as well as a paired phone, making for a more convenient and motivational way for users to track their habits anytime, anywhere.

Creating a comfortable environment can make all the difference in sleep quality, and even small distractions can have outsized impacts. That’s why Samsung has made it easier to connect Galaxy Watch to a wide range of devices. Once the user’s Galaxy Watch detects that they have fallen asleep, SmartThings lets the user switch off their connected devices to create a more conducive environment for rest. Sleep Mode swiftly mutes notifications and dims the user’s phone and watch screens, and One UI 5 Watch builds on this feature by now utilizing an infrared sensor rather than a green LED light to further minimize distractions. 

A Smarter Fitness Partner

Personalized Heart Rate Zone has been added to Galaxy Watch’s various tailored running tools — including real-time running analysis and a customized interval training program. This new feature analyzes individual physical capabilities³ and sets five optimal workout intensity levels (warm-up, fat burn, cardio, hard-training and max. effort). This enables users to set their own goals based on their ability, from burning fat to high-impact cardio.

Outdoor activity enthusiasts with Galaxy Watch Pro can look forward to additional benefits, starting with an expanded Route Workout — which now supports running and walking alongside previously available hiking and cycling route options. Galaxy Watch Pro users can also search and access the GPX File Database directly via Samsung Health app, and receive recommendations on new routes based on inputs like location, time, rating or popularity.⁴

Safety First, Always On

Safety is a must when it comes to health and wellness, and One UI 5 Watch also offers improved tools for greater peace of mind. Updates to the SOS feature enable direct communication to an emergency service number to relay information on the wearer’s location,⁵ and also allow immediate access to the wearer’s Medical Information once an SOS is activated. In addition, Fall Detection is now activated by default for users of advanced ages⁶ to help lower the risk of emergencies. These are just some of the examples of Samsung’s ongoing efforts to enhance user safety.

One UI 5 Watch will be available first on the upcoming Galaxy Watch series later this year with further updates to be announced soon. Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch4 series users in the U.S. and Korea can register for the beta program starting in May via Samsung Members app. 

¹ Availability of the features may vary by market, carrier, model and the paired smartphone. The features are not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease.
² For sleep pattern results, user must wear watch while they sleep for at least 7 nights and complete a survey.
³ After 10 minutes of running, Galaxy Watch calculates Personalized Heart Rate Zone based on VO2max and aerobic/anoxic thresholds.
⁴ Available on a paired smartphone. The selected route can be viewed on their watch.
⁵ To notify an emergency contact, a network connection is required. GPS accuracy may be affected by obstructions to the satellite signal, such as buildings.
⁶ Aged 55 or older. Based on the age registered in Samsung Account.

Samsung Electronics today announced that skin temperature measurement¹ is added to its existing calendar-based Cycle Tracking feature. Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro users can now conveniently get even deeper insights to manage their menstrual cycles and overall health. Starting today, the new feature will be progressively released via Samsung Health app updates² in Korea, the U.S. and 30 European markets.³

“Samsung’s holistic view of wellness has been further advanced by our sensor innovations, delivering in-depth health insights that empower users,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “The new infrared temperature sensor on Galaxy Watch5 broadens our whole health offerings, providing more convenient ways to track and understand personal health.”

As people search for ways to forecast their next period, they’re turning to temperature readings to help, since basal body temperature (BBT) varies by menstrual phase. BBT needs to be measured immediately after waking and prior to any physical activity or impact from surroundings. Getting accurate BBT readings requires measurement the first thing every morning, a process that can be inconvenient and sometimes even forgotten. Samsung’s new feature automates this process, making it easier and more convenient.

The Cycle Tracking feature is powered by Natural Cycles. Integrated with Samsung’s sensor technology, it enables users to track skin temperature changes, a good estimate of basal body temperature, during sleep right from their wrist. Galaxy Watch5 series uses infrared technology for more accurate readings, even if conditions of surroundings change. The advanced Cycle Tracking helps users track ovulation and better predict when their next period will begin.

To activate, users select Cycle Tracking in the Samsung Health app, add their most recent cycle information into the calendar and then turn on “Predict period with skin temp” in the settings. Readings collected over the prior month are displayed as a graph in Cycle Tracking, showing users their period as well as their predicted ovulation and fertile window. All collected data is encrypted and stored securely on the user’s own device, giving them more control over their data.

Cycle Tracking also evaluates symptoms entered into the daily log and provides relevant information and tips based on them, such as scheduling a day to relax to address fatigue or exercising gently to relieve premenstrual pelvic pain. In addition, Samsung Health app⁴ suggests useful content to help better manage holistic health during cycles, such as guided stretching or meditation classes to reduce stress and achieve a better night’s sleep — a key to a healthier self.

There’s a reason we sleep for approximately a third of our lives — sleep enables our bodies and minds to recover, and a lack of it reduces our ability to perform well and think clearly. Yet for many, achieving good sleep is a challenge that has only gotten worse over the past few years. That’s why Samsung is bringing sleep to the forefront by recognizing that quality sleep is foundational to our holistic health and drawing attention to the importance of healthy sleeping habits worldwide.

Samsung wants to help people optimize their nights like they do their days through innovative technologies like Galaxy Watch5 series. As sleep monitoring emerges as a health trend, already approximately 50% of Galaxy Watch users track their sleep patterns at least once a week, with 40% of them doing so more than three times a week.¹ This helps build good habits, since once you better understand your sleep patterns, it becomes easier to improve and maintain them, leading to a healthier night’s sleep.

To celebrate World Sleep Day on March 17, as well as Sleep Awareness Week^® by the National Sleep Foundation, Samsung is sharing useful tips for achieving a good night’s sleep.²

Understand Your Sleep Pattern To Build Better Habits

As everyone’s sleep pattern is different, it’s important to learn what’s unique about yours, and Samsung has made tracking and understanding that easy. Take Galaxy Watch’s BioActive Sensor. It monitors your unique sleeping patterns — whether you are awake, when you achieve deep sleep and your blood oxygen level, for example — and presents the results to you the next morning in the Samsung Health app in a user-friendly, easy-to-understand way.

But tracking isn’t enough by itself — establishing good habits is equally important, and Samsung makes it easy with Sleep Coaching. It uses a personally tailored month-long program that tracks your sleep pattern over seven days and then assigns one of eight sleep symbol animals to represent it. Sleep Coaching then sets you on a path to set healthy habits and routines to help you achieve a good night’s sleep more consistently. It keeps track of your daily activities and then gives tips and guidance to better manage them, from exercise and nutrition to mindfulness and health monitoring.

Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment

Even our sleep environment matters, and seemingly small things like screen light or room temperature can impact our sleep. Reduce distractions from your mobile devices by automatically syncing Sleep Mode between your Galaxy smartphone and Watch to mute notifications and change the phone background to grayscale. It also turns off Always On Display and ensures your Galaxy Watch will not activate when you touch the display or move your wrist.

And when it comes to connected home devices, SmartThings lets you control a wide range of smart home products manufactured by both Samsung and partners. Galaxy Watch can also track when you fall asleep each night and automatically close bedroom blinds or turn off lights and the air conditioner.

With a better understanding of your sleep patterns, you can set positive habits to achieve better sleep and make a positive impact on your overall wellness. Samsung is committed to continue enhancing our unique health experiences with solutions centered in sleep. Ongoing strategic partnerships with industry leaders, including the National Sleep Foundation, will continue to deliver on Samsung’s holistic sleep vision, offering even more intuitive and actionable insights to help everyone achieve their wellness goals.

Each day starts and ends with sleep, making it an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, sleeping well is more important than sleeping for a long time. To help you monitor your sleep, the Galaxy Watch5 tracks your sleep cycles throughout the night, allowing you to view your sleeping patterns and quality after a long night of rest.

By providing you with detailed information on your sleeping duration and patterns, the Galaxy Watch5 helps you create healthy sleeping habits with insights that help you fine tune your sleeping schedule. The watch comprehensively monitors your activity while you are sleeping, such as the sleep cycles you pass through, tossing and turning, the number of times you woke up and more, providing you with an overall sleep score based on the quality of sleep. The watch can also detect snoring and displays your oxygen saturation while asleep.

The Galaxy Watch5’s sleep management feature analyzes users’ sleep quality in four stages based on how deep they sleep. After the watch records and analyzes seven days of sleep, the app compares the user’s sleep type to the sleeping patterns of different animals. Users can also receive a customized sleep coaching guide in order to improve their sleeping habits.

8 A.M.: Discover More About Your Body’s Condition With the BioActive Sensor

After waking up, a low-impact at-home workout is the perfect way to start your day. To check your workout progress and body statistics, the Galaxy Watch5 can accurately calculate your body’s composition.

The Galaxy Watch5 comes with a BioActive Sensor with increased accuracy to measure data from your body, including the percentage of body water, skeletal muscle mass and body fat, allowing you to keep track of your fitness progress or body statistics. Thanks to an improved design, the wider BioActive Sensor on the back side of the watch covers a larger part of the wrist, providing increased accuracy.

Users can easily see all measured data at a glance to track their progress as well as changes in their health and body. The watch goes beyond simply recording calories consumed and workout duration and enables users to monitor their health on their wrist.

1 P.M.: Upgrade Your Workout With Galaxy Wearables

JM has received an international tennis umpire certification, and his wife Sally is a former professional tennis player, making tennis not just a fun activity but a part of their daily lives. To them, the Galaxy Watch5 is an essential accessory to track their workout progress while playing tennis.

The Galaxy Watch5 series can track progress for a variety of sports as well as different forms of exercise, such as weight training and jogging. Users can add more sports by connecting the watch to the Samsung Health app. The watch automatically starts tracking exercise with a lot of movement, such as jogging and riding a bike. For other sports or exercise, users can manually tap the track button on the watch to start tracking.

JM and his wife also often enjoy listening to music while playing tennis. While playing tennis, the couple sported the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, earbuds that fit comfortably when worn. With an ergonomic design and a weight of a mere 5.5 grams, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro stay comfortably snug in your ears, even while playing sports that require intense physical activity.

The Galaxy Buds2 Pro also boast richer sound quality thanks to the 360 Audio feature and the longer lasting battery life allows it to play audio for up to 29 hours. With an IPX7-rated water resistant capability, the watch has increased durability and can withstand water and sweat from outdoor activities with ease.

After finishing a workout, the Galaxy Watch5 shows a comprehensive summary of your workout, including the duration, calories burned, heart rate and more. If you work out regularly, you can refer to previous workout data from the week to systematically manage your health.

Thanks to increased durability and its smart workout-assistance functionality, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the perfect workout partner, keeping you company and helping you stay motivated during any outdoor activity.

The sapphire crystal display and titanium frame of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro make it strong enough to withstand the elements. Sapphire crystal is resistant to scratches, providing users with ease of mind while wearing the watch during outdoor activities.

If you enjoy hiking or long-distance cycling, the GPS-based smart features help you map your route. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro comes with the Route Workout feature, which can store routes for later use, and the Track Back feature, which guides you back to where you started by retracing your route, making it especially useful for outdoor activities such as hiking.

Share your recorded routes with other Galaxy users as a GPS Exchange Format (GPX) file by using the Route Workout feature. You can download GPX files shared by others on your Galaxy Watch5 Pro to experience the exact same routes through the Turn-by-Turn Navigation feature.

Additionally, similar to car navigation, the Turn-by-Turn Navigation feature smoothly guides you through recorded workout routes using vibration and voice commands. Designed specifically for outdoor activities, the watch provides tailored guidance for situations where you cannot easily look at the watch screen, such as when riding a bike or hiking.

With an improved battery capacity of 590mAh, use the Galaxy Watch5 Pro for hours and experience a widened scope of features and increased usability.

9 P.M.: Focus on Yourself With Active Noise Cancelling

After a long day, taking a moment at night to focus on yourself and wind down can relieve stress from the day. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) feature of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro blocks out noise for better immersion when listening to calm music or focusing on the sound of your breath.

The Galaxy Watch5 series also measures your stress level and blood pressure. When your stress level is high, follow the watch’s guide and focus on deep breathing to refocus and give yourself a mental break.

To help build a better world, 5% of every Global Goals band purchased will be donated to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), advancing their global work in developing sustainable policies and building resilient institutions in more than 170 countries.

Samsung has also released two new Global Goals watch faces across the globe, which seamlessly integrate with the Samsung Global Goals App. The Samsung Global Goals watch faces make it easier than ever for Samsung Galaxy users to contribute to the causes they care about. For instance, the new watch faces share thought-provoking quotes related to the Goals, and allows Samsung Galaxy users to easily learn more about the Global Goals. The Global Goals watch faces aim to inspire the Samsung Galaxy community to care about and engage with the Goals, which are more important now than ever before.

Mobilizing the Samsung Galaxy Community

In 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Goals — also known as the Global Goals — were developed by world leaders with the target of making the world a better place by 2030. The Global Goals encompass critical global issues, such as inequality, climate change and education, and set a roadmap of ambitious milestones for societal good.

To help accelerate global progress by 2030, Samsung partnered with the UNDP in 2019 to create the Samsung Global Goals App. Installed on over 200 million Samsung Galaxy smartphones worldwide, the app offers simple ways for users to learn about the Global Goals, spread awareness and generate funding for the UNDP’s global initiatives.

With less than 10 years left until the 2030 deadline to achieve the Global Goals, there is an urgent need to act. Samsung’s mission is to inspire people around the world to take small individual actions which, together, can add up to an exponential, global good.

The release of the new Global Goals watch accessories represent one of the small, meaningful steps Samsung is taking to achieve the collective goal.

¹ Sold separately in select markets. The Global Goals watch band is compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch4, Watch4 Classic, Watch5 and Watch5 Pro.

When you feel healthy, you feel that anything is possible. Now more than ever, consumers are proactive and taking a more holistic approach to health and wellness — from diet and exercise to proper sleep.

Thanks to new habits, routines and interests formed over the last few years, we’ve seen a growing interest in people who want to understand their physical and mental wellness better.

With this desire for knowledge comes the increased demand for tools that allow consumers to track their overall health.

In response, Samsung Electronics has amplified its wellness capabilities. By ensuring that people can access features promoting their fitness and health and receive deeper insights and data, Samsung wants to guide users toward their wellness goals.

This solution should not only be functional but also packaged together in a stylish, customizable and iconic design.

In line with this vision, Samsung is introducing the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro.

Representing the culmination of Samsung’s wellness vision and leadership in advanced health capabilities, this new series is the next step in redefining digital health and wellness for everyone.

Samsung’s Most Advanced Suite of Health and Wellness Features

The core of the Galaxy Watch5 series, Samsung’s advanced BioActive Sensor is the foundational technology driving the next era of digital health sensing — and the first step in helping consumers learn more about their body’s wellness.

Through the advanced BioActive Sensor, users can better understand their overall health and wellness through a single chip that efficiently combines three health sensors. Simply put on the watch — ensuring the sensor is touching the skin of your wrist.

Keep Track of Your Health Journey

Improving your health doesn’t happen overnight. Achieving the results you want is a long journey, full of work, rest and recovery results — and the Galaxy Watch5 series is with you every step of the way.

With the watch’s Body Composition feature, you can receive a more holistic picture of your body with key measurements that go beyond your weight, including skeletal muscle and basal metabolic rate. By setting incremental goals, you can stay on track with your progress through a guided approach.

Measure Blood Oxygen Levels With Ease

In recent years, users worldwide have prioritized having a more holistic understanding of their wellness. Knowing how well oxygenated your blood is can help you better understand your overall health. With this in mind, the Galaxy Watch5 series includes an easy way to measure your blood oxygen levels with technology powered by the BioActive Sensor.

Prioritize Your Heart Health

The Galaxy Watch5 series also lets users track additional health metrics quickly and easily. For instance, users can detect their blood pressure, heart rhythm and electrical activity, receiving deeper insights into their heart health anytime, anywhere. What’s more, with a new Temperature Sensor, the Galaxy Watch5 series will open up all new experiences with additional insights.

Track Your Sleep Quality

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life, which is why the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro give you options to make the most of your shut-eye. With Advanced Sleep Tracking Capabilities, you can monitor your sleep quality and patterns with data from stages of sleep, snoring and blood oxygen levels.

Achieve a Better Night’s Sleep

The watch’s tailored Sleep Coaching also helps users improve sleep habits with a customized month-long program based on their assigned Sleep Symbol. With Better Sleep with SmartThings Integration, you can create the best sleep environment possible by automatically detecting when you’re falling asleep and activating sleep pre-sets for connected devices. What’s more, the Galaxy Watch5 offers enhanced safety protection, so you can sleep soundly knowing that enhanced fall detection alerts are sent if you or a loved one falls from bed.

Optimize Your Rest and Recovery

Following a difficult workout, the Galaxy Watch5 series can also help maximize your muscle recovery. The watch offers heart rate data 2-3 minutes after cardio-intensive training and even recommends the perfect amount of fluids to drink based on the amount of sweat lost during a workout.

Enjoy Crystal-clear Durability

As Samsung’s most durable and feature-packed watch yet, the Galaxy Watch5 series is built with premium materials designed to stand the tests of time. For instance, with the watch’s enhanced Sapphire Crystal display, users can enjoy an extra layer of durability that’s 60% harder — perfect for the rigorous demands of even the most active users and outdoor enthusiasts. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro offers even greater durability thanks to the further enhanced Sapphire Crystal, Titanium Case and a protruding bezel that protects the display — so users can confidently take on the outdoors without worrying about wear and tear.

Built for Comfort and Style

The Galaxy Watch5 series is designed for all-day comfort, as the ergonomic strap has air pockets that provide a better fit for your wrist. Users can wear the Galaxy Watch5 anytime and anywhere, whether camping in the woods or camped out on the couch. Finally, with an even greater selection of all-new straps and watch faces, you can truly make the watch your own by mixing and matching.

Charge Up Your Workout

From running errands to running on the treadmill, users need a watch that keeps up with them every day — that’s why Samsung has offered a watch that lasts all day and then some. The Galaxy Watch5 is equipped with a 13% larger battery capacity — so you can spend even more time on the trail.

When you’re in need of a quick charge, you can gain up to 45% of additional battery life with just 30 minutes of charging. For those needing an even larger battery life, Galaxy Watch5 Pro comes with a 60% larger battery, maximizing usage time and lasting twice as long as the Galaxy Watch4. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro even doubles the battery capacity of the Galaxy Watch5, better meeting the needs and lifestyles of its target users.

Always Know Where You’re Going

The Galaxy Watch5 Pro offers many ways for hikers and cyclers to ‘go pro’ with their workouts. With Routes, hikers can record, download and import hike route data so their trail-mates can follow their lead. What’s more, hikers can keep their eyes on the trail and off their wrists with GPX, which contains GPS, speed and altitude information. With the help of vibrations and a voice guide, hikers can receive turn-by-turn directions. In addition, with track back, you never have to worry about getting lost in the woods — you can always make it back to your starting point by retracing your route.

A Caddy for Your Wrist

The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also comes in a special edition that’s a hole-in-one for golf enthusiasts. Featuring a white strap, green button, special watch face and Golf edition package, this watch also includes a Smart Caddy app to offer users a smarter golf experience. You can pinpoint your exact location as you perfect your swing by using detailed distance measurements and a guide to more than 40,000 golf courses worldwide.

These spaces featured activation zones where consumers could experience the Galaxy brand and the latest devices firsthand — including unique FlexCam, personalization and productivity features on the new foldables, SmartThings connected solutions and the Galaxy for the Planet sustainability initiative.

At the event, Samsung Newsroom met with two attendees excited to try out the devices for the first time: Vueey Le, an Australian commercial photographer, and Kendall Forbes, a proud Samsung user from New Zealand.

For Vueey Le, the standout device was the Galaxy Z Fold4. “As a photographer, I always try to find ways to keep my equipment as small and light as possible,” said Le. “It’s great for capturing behind-the-scenes shots and quick snaps. I could leave my tablet at home.”

Meanwhile, Kendall Forbes was most excited about the Galaxy Z Flip4. “I love its compactness,” said Forbes. “The fact that it would fit in any of my pockets is amazing.”

Cutting-edge Sensor Technology To Better Understand You

With a growing desire to better understand and act on individual health goals, Samsung has set out to provide in-depth monitoring and practical data offering users the information they need to help them along their health and wellness journey. Galaxy Watch5 is equipped with Samsung’s unique BioActive Sensor that drives the next era of digital health monitoring. First introduced on the Galaxy Watch4 series, the BioActive Sensor uses a single unique chip that combines three powerful health sensors — Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart Signal and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis — to deliver extensive readings that include heart rate, blood oxygen level and even stress level.¹ In addition, users can get a deeper understanding of their heart health by monitoring blood pressure² and ECG³ — right from their wrist.⁴ Since 2020, Samsung has expanded these capabilities to 63 markets including five new — Bolivia, Nicaragua, Réunion Island, Türkiye and Venezuela — to ensure that everyone can better track heart health every day.

With an increased surface area and more direct contact with your wrist, Galaxy Watch5 tracks health metrics now with even greater accuracy than Galaxy Watch4. Plus, its powerful 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor works in combination with the other sensors of Galaxy Watch5 series, including the newly introduced temperature sensor, to provide users with an in-depth understanding of their wellness. The temperature sensor uses infrared technology for more accurate readings, even if the temperature of your surroundings changes. This opens new possibilities for developers to expand their health and wellness options and for users to take advantage of all-new experiences.

And when it’s time to rest, the Galaxy Watch5 series empowers users with recovery data, including post-cardio heart rate after an intense workout,⁶ and customized recommendations on water consumption based on sweat loss.⁷

A good night’s rest is important in wellness, and that’s why we’re helping users have a better night’s sleep.⁸ Understand sleep patterns through Sleep Scores that monitor stages of sleep, along with snore detection⁹ and blood oxygen levels.
