Apple plans to add new health features to its 2024 smart watches. In particular, a blood pressure sensor may appear alongside the sleep apnea detector. In my new note about this reported Well-known insider and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman.
According to Gurman, Apple is currently testing the first version of an “innovative” blood pressure sensor. It is expected to appear on watches in 2024 and will be able to detect signs of hypertension. Thanks to the new sensor, the watch will notify the user of the increased pressure. Immediately after that, the device will ask the person to log in to a special observation log, where he will have to explain his situation after each notification.
“To prevent misdiagnosis, this feature will direct the user to talk to their doctor or check their blood pressure using a traditional cuff that can provide accurate systolic and diastolic measurements,” Gurman writes.
Apple Watch will also have sleep apnea detection in 2024. The person’s sleep and breathing data will be used to assess whether they have the disease. If signs of apnea are detected, the watch will recommend making an appointment with the doctor for further diagnosis and consultation.
