Apple Series 10 to Bring Blood Pressure Monitoring Feature to Watch: Mark Gorman

apple Unveiled the new. See Series 9 With the Watch Ultra 2 in September last year. Like its predecessor, the new set of wearables gives users valuable health insights directly on their wrists by monitoring heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep patterns, movements, temperature and more. Apple is said to bring a new blood pressure monitoring feature to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10. This feature will allow wearers to understand blood pressure trends. Samsung offers a similar feature in the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 5 models.

Bloomberg reporter Mark Gorman, in the latest edition of his weekly newsletter Power On, gave an opinion That the blood pressure monitoring feature will be added to the Apple Watch Series 10. “All signs point to the new Apple Watch getting a blood pressure checker this fall. But it doesn’t look like that capability will come to current models,” he said. This indirectly suggests that blood pressure monitoring will be a hardware feature and older Apple Watch models will not be able to access it through a software update.

Monitoring blood pressure through the Apple Watch will help users reduce their reliance on traditional blood pressure readings taken in clinics. Tracking blood pressure through the Apple Watch will help individuals track changes and early detection of high blood pressure, heart disease or other complications.

Apple isn’t the first tech company to add blood pressure monitoring support to smartwatches. Samsung Currently offers ECG (Electrocardiography) and BP monitoring capabilities for Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 6 series. The health tracking features can be accessed through the Samsung Health Monitor app. Huawei is also offering a similar automatic blood pressure monitor. See D.
