Confirmed: My BP Lab works on Note 9.

In Samsung health. You measure it buy putting your finger over the back sensor.

That's only for Oxygen Saturation, Heart Rate and stress. Not Blood Pressure.

I'll have to Google to find out where that sensor is exactly

It's the first thing on the back of the phone in the row with the camera lens. It looks like a vertical rectangle.

He asked about pulse rate though. It takes that.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought they were looking for Blood Pressure since that's what the OP was talking about.

So how DO they measure blood pressure?

That BP app the OP mentioned does use the Sensor at the back. Not sure why the Samsung Health app doesn't use it for BP.

I know what it doesn't use
I cannot understand how it can measure blood pressure without any accessories?

Lol agree. I don't know either. I wanted to try the app out to see how accurate it is but I didn't want to sign up for the study so I uninstalled the app.

My local T-Mobile store had a working model of the Note 9, and were nice enough to let me play with it for a few minutes. I was able to install and confirm that the My BP Lab app works on the Note 9.

For those who do not know, with the release of the the Galaxy S9; the built in heart monitor now also has the ability to measure blood pressure. Currently there is only one app that I know of that works with that feature
"My BP Lab" and to use it you have to agree to take part in a University study on daily stress.

I have been using it on the S9 Plus since launch (one of the reasons I switched from the Note 8) and wanted to confirm it working as I move back to the Note family.

How does Note 9 measure bp?
