One of the biggest features that Apple announced for the Apple Watch is hypertension notifications, which could save lives. You see, the Apple Watch uses its built-in health sensors and custom-designed algorithms to detect high blood pressure, which could be a sign of hypertension. Hypertension is a serious health issue that could often go undiagnosed, as it could lead to heart attacks and strokes. With this feature, users can opt in to frequently monitor blood pressure. The Apple Watch will then track the blood pressure, send that data to the iPhone’s Health app, and the user could send the log to a physician. Now, Apple is adding this feature to more countries: Australia, Malaysia, Columbia, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil, and Turkey.
Even though Apple introduced hypertension notifications alongside Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3, this feature will also work with Apple Watch Series 9 and later, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later. Apple Watch is an essential tool and companion to your iPhone, as it’s the most personal device that Apple has ever created. With all of the advanced health features, it can help you stay healthy. Earlier this month, Apple launched several new features for Apple Fitness+, and just this week, the Apple Watch is more useful now as Apple released its second-generation AirTag that supports Precision Finding on Apple Watch Series 9 and later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later.
