Now that's something. I don't think Apple watches monitor blood pressure, I hope they do eventually. That's when I'll buy one.
Yeah, I have an Apple Watch 7, I am sure you read my stories of how it got me medical treatment in an expedited manner.
Apple gets their stuff approved when they make a claim about something of which their ECG on the watch is approved by the FDA.
(or something like that) Its the reason I bought the watch and that ECG function allowed my heart specialists to see what was going on when I was home at night, in the middle of the night being woken up by a racing/pounding heart beat.
I do expect them to come out sooner or later with the BP monitoring but when they do I would expect once again they go through the approval or clearance process. I THINK they acquired a company or something like it that has technology for cuff less BP measurement.
Anyway, agree, I will update my watch if and when it becomes available.
Still I find what another in here interesting that the BP readings he gets from his non Apple smart watch are fairly accurate and I certainly believe him so that increases my hope that maybe Apple will get a device approved for this.
Im in great health BTW but part of that reason as I got older is I am into taking care of myself and I LOVE INSTRUMENTATION just the same as I love gauges on my cars, boat and motorcycle, I love it for my body/heart which is the most improtant of all to catch something early. I had easily fixable what turned into very frequent PVCs into sometimes more serious looking things at an early stage.
7 hours of a Cardiac Ablation in the hospital for PVCs and I walked out the same day took care of it 100% so far anyway.
Anyway, I just found this =

From the story above ... I guess they are all coming soon, I find this freaking awesome.
"Major smartwatch manufacturers, like Apple, Samsung, and Fitbit, are still developing their blood pressure tech for FDA clearance in the United States."
My hope one day is blood sugar monitoring, just as all the above to help me eat as healthy as I can. I dont have diabetes but my family history is a disaster and says I should so I got a free Glucose Monitor from my Advantage C plan and I know exactly how my blood sugar runs just for fun and within the normal below 100 fasting and well below accepted levels after dinner eating.
