We have already mentioned on numerous occasions that Apple is currently working on the development of a sensor and function to monitor blood pressure of the user. We know that many of you are waiting for this news because it was initially expected for the Apple Watch Series 10, although in the end it was not like that. Now, everything indicates that 2025 will be the launch date of this feature that has aroused so much interest among users.
From Bloomberg they report that the new option to measure blood pressure It should be ready by next year 2025 and the corresponding presentation of the Apple Watch Series 11 if it receives this name. Taking into account that Apple has been working on the sensor for a few years and initially intended to release it in 2024, it is obvious to think that it will be among us very soon.
This is how the new Apple Watch blood pressure sensor works
The first and most important thing to highlight about this novelty is that the Apple Watch does not replace the professional devices that medical specialists use to record your health information, so you should not take the data from the watch as definitive, but rather merely indicative. The blood pressure measurement function tracks the user’s activity and send a notification in case of hypertension. This will be when the user can share the information with your GP to carry out more precise tests.
It should be noted that hypertension is a cause that can lead to severe heart damage and, in the worst case, death. This is why the novelty of the next Apple Watch is an outstanding addition and of interest to so many users, who are looking for a way to detect this symptom in advance, which does not usually occur until a significant increase in the individual’s blood pressure.
With the arrival of this new option to measure blood pressure, the Apple Watch can now detect irregular heartbeats, obtain readings from an electrocardiogram, monitor oxygen and even warn of atrial fibrillation, that is, a very fast heart rate. In short, it could be said that the new Apple smartwatch will be ready to save lives with an immense amount of health and emergency functions.
Watches compatible with the function
The question everyone is asking is whether the old Apple Watch models will be compatible with the option to measure blood pressure. In this sense, it must be mentioned that the previous versions do not have the appropriate sensor for this, which means that none of the Apple watches that currently exist can make use of the function.
According to our source, the Cupertino-based company intends to debut the blood pressure sensor in the new Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. This means that the year 2025 will be the release date of the great novelty that Apple has been preparing for some time, but which has been forced to delay due to failures during testing.
