FDA Clears Hypertension Alerts on Apple Watch
Apple Watch can now notify users of possible chronic high blood pressure using its optical heart sensor.
How it works
The feature analyzes blood vessel responses over 30-day periods to detect patterns consistent with hypertension.
Supported models
Hypertension notifications are available on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, and Ultra 2 and later.
Not a diagnosis
Apple stresses that alerts should be followed up with a traditional blood pressure cuff and a doctor.
