Samsung will finally be enabling its Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN) feature on its new and recent Galaxy Watch models, following the release of a few additional features that were previously absent from older Galaxy Watch models, such as the Galaxy Watch 6 series. The IHRN feature was recently added to the Galaxy Watch 4 series, but now it will also be added to Samsung's most advanced Watch Ultra. Starting with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and going all the way up to the most recent Galaxy Watch Ultra, all the watches using the BioActive sensor on their case backs will soon be compatible with the IHRN feature.

A report by SamMobile claims that Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN), a crucial health monitoring feature, is now available on Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra, the most recent smartwatch. Samsung claims that the IRHN feature continuously monitors for indications of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and integrates with the on-demand Electrocardiogram (ECG) function. The BioActive sensors found in the most recent and new Samsung Galaxy Watch models are responsible for all of this.

Samsung claims that the FDA has approved the feature to assist in identifying AFib symptoms early on. Unlike standalone blood pressure monitors (some of which can detect AFib), a smartwatch is worn on the wearer's wrist at all times and can be activated as needed. This kind of functionality is helpful on a smartwatch, as the majority of AFib cases are asymptomatic.

Although Samsung had previously revealed the feature with earlier Galaxy Watch models, that was many years ago. The source claims that the feature is only now available in India because obtaining certifications for it took some time. In May 2023, Samsung formally announced that it had received approval to implement the feature on models worldwide. In India, clearances most likely took even longer. Other features like electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure monitoring were added to Galaxy Watch models in India only recently.

Users must install the Samsung Health Monitor app, a separate app that also activates the previously released ECG and blood pressure monitoring features, in order to activate the feature. A 58MB update was just released for the app to version 1.3.4.004. Once the update is finished, the feature will be enabled via a notification in the app.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra features

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is being challenged by Samsung's latest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The latest smartwatch from the tech giant features a 1.5-inch Sapphire Crystal screen with an AMOLED panel that has 3,000 nits of brightness and 480x480 resolution. It also has titanium-padded frames. It is also the first smartwatch to ship with WearOS-based One UI 6 out of the box.

WhatsApp's Meta Verified for Small Businesses
With the WhatsApp Business app, Meta has opened up the Meta Verified subscription to all eligible small businesses in India. This service provides account support, a verified badge, protection against impersonation, and premium features that enhance customer engagement and increase brand visibility.

Businesses will find it simpler to share this on websites and social media since the verified badge will also be visible on WhatsApp Channels and Business pages.

Customised Text for the WhatsApp Business

WhatsApp started allowing small businesses in India to send customized messages to their customers on September 12, 2024. These messages could be appointment reminders, birthday wishes, or updates about holiday sales.

With the help of this feature, which costs money, companies can schedule the timing of messages containing the customer's name and bespoke call-to-action buttons.

WhatsApp Bharat Yatra Initiative

Additionally, Meta is also aiming to provide hands-on training to small businesses in tier 2 and tier 3 cities across India under its "WhatsApp Business Yatra."

This course will primarily assist companies with setting up their WhatsApp Business accounts, making catalogs, and learning how to make advertisements that point to WhatsApp directly. In addition, Meta intends to develop a "resource center" on their website that will act as a convenient hub for these companies to access tutorials.

Apart from these, Meta also emphasized on the importance of maintaining “meaningful and valuable” customer relationship on WhatsApp without bombarding users with messages. They also shared some valuable insights on how to build customer relations including seeking customer permissions for promotional messages, be mindful of timing as well as use analytics to assess what is effective and determine the right messaging frequency.

Sam Altman’s OpenAI has made a significant breakthrough with releasing its latest language model, o1. Designed to excel in reasoning tasks, o1 represents a leap forward in AI capabilities and has the potential to revolutionize various industries.

o1 is equipped with a neural network architecture that enables it to process information and make logical deductions more akin to human reasoning. This advancement departs from previous language models that often struggled with complex reasoning problems.

One of o1's key features is its ability to understand and respond to nuanced questions and prompts. It can analyze information from various sources, identify relevant details, and draw logical conclusions based on the provided context. This capability opens up new possibilities for applications in fields such as education, research, and customer service.

OpenAI has extensively tested o1's performance on various reasoning benchmarks. The results have been promising, demonstrating that o1 significantly outperforms previous models in tasks that require understanding cause-and-effect relationships, identifying patterns, and making informed judgments.

The release of o1 marks a milestone in the development of AI and has generated significant excitement among researchers and developers. While o1 is still in its early stages, its potential applications are vast. It could be used to create more intelligent virtual assistants, improve search engine results, and even assist in scientific research.

However, the development of advanced AI models also raises important ethical considerations. OpenAI is committed to addressing these concerns and has implemented safeguards to ensure that o1 is used responsibly. The company is actively working on developing guidelines and best practices for the deployment of AI technologies.

As o1 continues to evolve, it is expected to impact society profoundly. Its ability to reason and understand complex information could lead to breakthroughs in various fields and improve our lives in countless ways.
