TL;DR A new app from the developer behind SHM Mod provides Galaxy Watch users with a way to record ECG data without the Samsung Health Monitor app.
The app, called GeminiMan Wellness Companion, allows you to set up multiple profiles and export your results.
In the future, it will also allow you to record other health measurements, such as blood pressure.
If you’re frustrated by the way that the Galaxy Watch locks out certain features depending on your region or smartphone, you’ll be glad to hear that there’s a new app that aims to address this — along with providing an on-device companion that summarizes your wellness data.
Dante63, whom you may know as the developer who created a patched version of Samsung Health Monitor to unlock certain features in unsupported regions, has released a new app called GeminiMan Wellness Companion. While still in its early stages, the app supports a variety of useful features.
This includes the ability to record an ECG on your Galaxy Watch, with reports and AI analysis available to view on the phone app.
Besides recording your heart rhythm and rate, the app also provides details such as the confidence of the reading. When comparing my readings to the Samsung Health Monitor app, both apps were able to identify when my heart rate was high. However, GeminiMan flagged two recordings as having an abnormal rhythm, while Samsung’s app did not.
