Samsung has acquired three patents from Russian developers to monitor life parameters

Earlier this month the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Samsung that reveals that future Samsung portable and mobile devices may be used to monitor various parameters of an object. The patent filing reveals that Samsung acquired three of the patents behind this invention from Russian developers, reports Patently Mobile.

Thus Samsung devices will state variables such as heart rate and blood pressure, pulse rate, blood flow velocity and skin conditions of a user, using a new laser speckle interferometric methodology. The portable/mobile devices that may use this new methodology include Galaxy smartphones and tablets in addition to Galaxy Gear.

Samsung filed their US patent application back in September 2015. Considering that this is a patent application, the timing of such a product to market is unknown at this time, notes Patently Mobile.
