Apple seems to have delayed the inclusion blood pressure sensor in the Apple Watch, as it turned out bloomberg. The Cupertino-based company, which has a team dedicated to developing both a sensor and a software solution capable of offering blood pressure readings, may not bring the feature to its smartwatch until 2024 at the earliest. Wall Street Magazineremember, it turned out that this feature will be available in the 2022 model.
The above environment shows that delays are due to problems in the “accuracy” of the results obtained when tested by project participants. It also ensures that the Apple Watch’s blood pressure sensor doesn’t show systolic (shows blood pressure in an artery when the heart is beating) and diastolic (when the heart is at rest between beats) readings like other common blood pressure measurements. systems do. The clock, on the other hand, will display a warning as the user may have hypertension and recommend visiting a doctor for a more accurate measurement.
However, the simplification of the results compared to a conventional blood pressure monitor did not save the launch delay. Actually enabling these features in Apple Watch This is what Apple has been working on for four years.. They expect development to continue for at least another two years, with a launch no later than 2025.
Apple is working on new health features for its Apple Watch
In parallel bloomberg mentioned that Apple plans to launch various health-related features in its upcoming smartwatches. Among them a sensor capable of measuring body temperature. This will be intended to produce results that allow for fertility planning, and not to determine the exact temperature, as thermometers do. The feature could also come with the Apple Watch Series 8 that the company is announcing this year.
The above environment also expects Apple improve the ECG of current models with the advent of watchOS 9version of the operating system that will be announced at WWDC in 2022. The improvement, in particular, will allow displaying results on the state of atrial fibrillation of a person over a certain period of time.
Later, Apple may also include blood glucose sensor. This, like the blood pressure sensor, is in the early stages of development. So it may also take a few years to be available. Alternatively, the company may offer support for third-party measurement systems and make the Apple Watch and Health app compatible for displaying results.
