Apple Korea said that starting on the 28th, the "high blood pressure alerts" feature will be available on Apple Watch.
When this feature is set in the Health app, the algorithm analyzes 30 days of data in the background and provides an alert if signs of chronic hypertension are detected.
Its performance was verified in a clinical study of more than 2,000 people, and users who receive an alert are advised to record their blood pressure with a third-party blood pressure monitor for seven days and share it with medical staff.
It is supported on Apple Watch Series 9 and later and Ultra 2 and later models, and use is restricted for those under age 22, people with a history of hypertension diagnosis, and pregnant women.
