Chennai – July 8, 2024: Samsung has been driving digital heath innovation to help simplify health and wellness by bringing together insights and metrics to offer a more impactful and streamlined wellness experience. This approach starts by improving access to simple and accurate health tracking through Samsung’s BioActive Sensor, which provides you with more comprehensive, personalized and accurate health data. Furthering this mission, Samsung is raising the bar again and introducing the newest iteration of its BioActive Sensor. Coming to the next Galaxy Watch, the new sensor will enable advanced predictive and preventative wellness features never before seen on a wearable device — in addition to more accurate health measurements. Introducing Samsung’s New BioActive Sensor The all-new BioActive Sensor is essential to bringing you better preventative health experiences on the next Galaxy Watch, with design improvements that enable even more precise health insights. Samsung engineers focused on three upgrades to the new sensor: enhancing the performance of light-receiving photodiodes, adding additional colors of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and arranging them optimally across the sensor. Samsung more than doubled the performance of each photodiode, successfully decreasing the number needed to maintain capacity from eight to four. This redesign freed up additional space for the integration of a larger number and variety of LEDs and ensured their optimal placement across the sensor. The new sensor now includes Blue, Yellow, Violet and Ultraviolet LEDs in addition to an increased number of Green, Red and Infrared LEDs. With the integration and arrangement of these LEDs, photodiodes and specially designed photodiode, Samsung is taking innovation one step further and is now able to pursue unexplored aspects of health monitoring on wearables. Bringing Greater Accuracy and New Possibilities for Preventative Wellness The optimal allocation of Green, Red and Infrared LEDs sets new standards in wearable technology by improving accuracy and enabling exceptional performance across a broad array of health metrics. This allows the new BioActive Sensor to more accurately measure health metrics such as heart rate, sleep quality, blood pressure,blood oxygen levels and stress levels.Even the measurement of heart rate during intensive workouts is 30% more accurate compared to its predecessor. The more diverse colors of LEDs and newly designed photodiodes unlock new possibilities and empower you to better predict trends and take proactive steps for preventative care. The first of these features will be an advanced glycation end products (AGEs) index — an indicator of metabolic health and biological aging strongly influenced by overall lifestyle and dietary habits. Used as an insightful biomarker, this index provides a snapshot of your biological age to help you make more informed decisions about your wellness journey and work towards a healthier future. The addition of an AGEs index is just one of the many new advanced features planned for the next Galaxy Watch. The next Galaxy Watch will bring more sophisticated and intelligent health and wellness tools to help you reach your goals. We can’t wait to show you more!

Simplify Your Atmosphere Creating a relaxing atmosphere doesn’t need to be complicated. Just dim the lights or light a few candles to create a softer ambience. Play your favorite soothing music or nature sounds to set the mood. These small adjustments can make a big difference in how relaxed you feel.
Exfoliate for Smooth Skin Before stepping into the bath, take a few minutes to exfoliate your skin. Use a gentle scrub or a dry brush to remove dead skin cells. Exfoliating helps to reveal smoother skin and allows moisturizing products to penetrate deeply, maximizing their benefits.

Its calming properties not only benefit my skin but also help me unwind and relax” She further adds, “The aroma of sandalwood instantly evokes memories of my childhood home and my Coorgi roots. It’s remarkable how this fragrance has the power to transport me back to those cherished moments, filling my day with warmth and comfort. It’s a beautiful reminder of where I come from and the values that shape me” Rashmika stresses on choosing right ingredients.. Rashmika emphasizes the importance of selecting the right ingredients for skincare and body care, driven by her pursuit of healthy skin and overall well-being. “I started with basic skincare and body care steps and gradually incorporated more holistic practices, such as mindfulness and using natural products,” she explains. “I have also learned the significance of choosing products that contribute to a comprehensive body care routine. As I’ve become more attuned to my skin’s unique needs and adopted a mindful approach, my routine has evolved to prioritize nourishment, simplicity, and overall wellness. It’s been a journey of growth, self-love, and discovering what truly works best for me.” Eat, Drink, Sleep, Glow: Rashmika’s Tips for Healthy, Radiant Skin Rashmika emphasizes how important it is for her to follow a proper routine for physical health, as taking care of oneself is crucial for maintaining a healthy skin glow. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying well-hydrated, and getting ample rest are essential for her. “I prioritize a diet rich in water and fruits, consciously steering clear of ingredients that can trigger any allergic reactions. Additionally, I refrain from consuming oily foods” Rashmika shares. “I also try to focus on either of these -strength training, yoga, swimming, and walks, at least three days a week”. Rashmika’s message to her fans on World Bathing Day Rashmika strongly believes in embracing one’s natural beauty and enveloping oneself in positivity is essential for overall well-being. “I feel, all young women out there should embrace their natural beauty.
