Apple Watch AI Feature Alerts for Potential High Blood Pressure
Your Apple Watch can now help you keep an eye on your blood pressure!
It uses smart computer programs called AI to analyze data from sensors in your watch.
If it spots something that looks like high blood pressure, it will give you a heads-up.
This isn't a way to measure your blood pressure.
It's like a warning to see a doctor.
If you get an alert, you should use a blood pressure cuff to check and talk to your doctor.
This can help people find out if they have high blood pressure earlier and get the help they need.
Apple Watch Series 11 can alert users about potential high blood pressure.
The feature utilizes AI applied to existing sensor data.
It received US FDA approval.
The feature does not directly measure blood pressure.
It will be rolled out in more than 150 countries.
