There have been rumors for some time that the Apple Watch will have a blood pressure monitor, but it seems that it will actually happen in 2024. But the smartwatch will have even more cool functions.
Apple Watch will get blood pressure monitor in 2024
We have seen the rumors that the Apple Watch will have a blood pressure monitor before. Now usually reliable Apple expert Mark Gurman says that we don’t have to wait very long.
According to Gurman, the Apple Watch will have a blood pressure monitor in 2024, but with it you cannot simply measure your current blood pressure. He mainly checks the trend of your blood pressure. Has your blood pressure been rising steadily lately? Your Apple Watch can then notify you that something may be wrong. Gurman says that a system that allows you to directly measure blood pressure is still a long time coming. He couldn’t say exactly how long.
More new features for next Apple Watch
The next generation of Apple Watch will have even more cool features, according to Gurman. For example, there will be a function that can detect sleep apnea. According to rumors, the Apple Watch then analyzes your sleep patterns and breathing to determine this.
Furthermore, measuring blood sugar is also planned for the Apple Watch, according to Gurman. It will then work approximately the same as the blood pressure monitor that will be available on the Apple Watch in 2024. The smartwatch mainly looks at a trend in your blood sugar level.
Yet Gurman is less positive about the launch of this feature. According to him, it will take a few years before measuring your blood sugar (as a trend) comes to the Apple Watch.
