Apple is working on blood pressure monitoring for Apple Watch. This feature will be available in the company's smartwatch in 2025. This was reported by Bloomberg.
This feature will not provide accurate blood pressure measurements, but it will monitor blood pressure trends and send alerts if hypertension is detected.
High blood pressure often shows few symptoms until it has progressed significantly, and its early detection can save lives.
The Apple Watch can already detect atrial fibrillation or irregular heartbeat, and it can also be used to take an ECG. Apple smartwatches also have a blood oxygen monitoring function. Apple also continues to work on a non-invasive way to monitor blood glucose levels.
The company plans to introduce the new feature in Apple Watch Ultra 3. It is likely to appear in Apple Watch Series 11 next year.
