Apple Prepares to Launch New Health Features in Upcoming Smart Watch
Washington, December 19 (QNA) – Apple is working on developing new health-related features for its smartwatch in preparation for providing them with upcoming releases in the coming year 2024.
According to a report from the American newspaper Bloomberg, the new features will include the ability to track blood pressure via the wrist and detect cases of apnea while sleeping through measurements and breathing patterns. The smartwatch will be equipped with special sensors on the blood vessels in the wrist to measure blood pressure and detect abnormal results.
The Apple Watch will be able to alert users if their blood pressure rises above normal measurements, allowing them to inform their physician. However, the device will not initially provide specific measurements of systolic and diastolic pressure like specialized blood pressure devices.
It’s important to note that these health features provided by Apple are meant to guide users and alert them to abnormal measurements, but they are not intended to replace medical advice or specialized measuring devices. Additionally, it is expected that Apple may launch one of its upcoming versions of the watch with a new and improved design.
The ability to detect cases of sleep apnea could greatly benefit users, as diagnosing this condition usually requires a sleep study test at a specialized center. The new technology may help facilitate the diagnosis of cases with mild symptoms and signs, or track cases that have already been diagnosed, and contribute to improving sleep.
As Apple continues to integrate health features into its smartwatches, the company is demonstrating its commitment to providing innovative technology that can potentially improve the lives of its users.
