In an interview conducted by foreign media outlet Bloomberg, Hong Park, a new senior healthcare executive at Samsung, talked about ``a non-invasive blood sugar measurement function that does not use needles'' and ``continuously measuring blood pressure.'' He revealed that he is currently working on developing a new feature. 'If we can constantly monitor blood sugar levels and blood pressure, we are entering a completely different stage,' Park said. 'Everyone is trying to get there, and we are investing heavily.' He also revealed that he is investing a large amount of money to develop blood sugar and blood pressure measurement functions.

Park also revealed that Galaxy Ring is scheduled to be released in 2024. On the other hand, regarding the blood sugar level and blood pressure measurement functions, he only stated, ``We hope that they will be introduced to the market within five years,'' but declined to discuss the specific timing of their release.

Furthermore, Mr. Park also revealed that he is developing ``earphones equipped with blood pressure and body temperature measurement functions.'' In the future, Samsung is aiming to integrate data measured by earphones and smart watches to more accurately understand health conditions.
