Despite the special health features of this Apple Watch for measuring heart rate and detecting atrial fibrillation - Link - And other features, except that Apple will not stop developing and harnessing it to monitor everything possible for the health of its users. In a new patent for the Apple Watch, it says that it will contain a new sensor capable of accurately measuring blood pressure without the need for additional dedicated accessories such as a dedicated bracelet to measure blood pressure. Follow the article for more details.
One of the health-related features of the Apple Watch was its ability to measure heart rate by monitoring the number of beats per minute, and it became very popular and we have already read news that such a feature has saved many lives. But these capabilities remain limited, as the watch was not able to accurately measure blood pressure because this requires more sensitive sensors, which requires placing these sensors precisely on the arteries or veins, through which the pressure is required to be measured.
While you can get blood pressure measuring apps on the Apple Watch, they require additional devices, such as a dedicated blood pressure bracelet, that wrap completely around the wrist. But this patent describes the way to work without this dedicated bracelet, but also helps to achieve accurate positioning and data.
The presence of these sensors is important because it will increase the number of people who will be able to check their blood pressure, and this will be a useful indicator in monitoring potential health problems, and thus the demand for an Apple Watch, as they do not have to buy anything else, but this is a set of benefits. Medicines that come from recording these data regularly.
What Apple is proposing is for the watch itself to acquire a set of sensors around the user's wrist and target some arteries and measure pressure through them, and the work of these sensors will be enhanced by a combination of programs in order to provide accurate readings.
The patent did not explicitly mention the Apple Watch, and it used a loose phrase, which is "a device that she wears on the wrist." It may be in order to retain the rights of this patent on any similar device, or it will produce a separate product for the watch for this purpose, and the latter is excluded.

I don't think it's that simple
I am a doctor and I know very well that the technique used in measuring pressure, whether pneumatic or mercury, is to raise the pressure so that it exceeds the systolic and diastolic pressure.
Through my knowledge of blood pressure measurement technologies from major medical device companies such as Philips, BBraun, Omron, and others, we have never seen a technology based on a technology other than this one.
The possibility of Apple making a special bracelet that performs the process of inflating and measuring, however, experimentally it has been proven inaccurate that pressure gauges that are placed on the wrist, while those placed on the upper arm are more reliable.
We hope that the feature will be there for the next hour .. I think the Apple Watch will achieve huge sales because of it, thanks for the article 🌺
I would like to not invent a method for measuring sugar in the Apple Watch, so I see if this is a strong fashion for the watch, and a lot may buy it due to the large number of diabetics in the Arab and Gulf countries in particular.
Tafran sits watching 😅
When entering the application, there is a voice recording that works automatically, how to close it
Thank you! Since it is a patent of the seventh impossible invention, we will soon see it!
The title of the article, "Hosni," is that the feature will be integrated into the next system!
Thank you, our director, and he gives you a thousand health and every year, and you are a thousand good
Welcome, Age of the Machine
Welcome
When will the new watch be issued? Brothers, because I think I bought the asking watch. Should I wait, but the next hour is coming off? It still has time
Expected to be released in September
I don't think this thing will be achieved with a smart watch
The principle of measuring blood pressure is through pressure in the area of the elbow, blocking the flow of blood after that, relaxing and determining the readings
Mercury devices are the most accurate devices and sometimes give inaccurate readings
So how about if the measurement is by a smart watch that relies on sensors?
Sensors are much finer than mercury, which dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century, the sensors are now in robots and perform complex surgeries.
It's a useful thing, maybe this watch will be more important than the iPhone Apple, changing the world forward
The ECG has not yet reached us, so what is the benefit of suspended specifications that are supposed to be released in the fourth issue, and now the sixth is on the doors
Yeah. But perhaps the reason is due to the governments of our country and their failure to activate these features and issue approvals instead of disrupting them.
Hello! The feature is coming in Saudi Arabia with a special version for developers now! Weeks and began to appear in general!
we are waiting
A more than wonderful watch from a well-established company that deserves first place and with its merits
Is it true that there are leaks that the new Apple Watch will be in a circular shape, we hope you will be sure
The development in the Apple Watch is more than wonderful and in a continuous and remarkable development .. I hope that such development will be noticeable on the iPhone ..
For more than XNUMX years, I have not noticed any significant development except for the type of screen and camera, unfortunately only
A very important feature that I wish was present in smart watches in general.. I also hope that they work on the battery life because there are watches that have outperformed the Apple Watch in this important aspect, such as the Huawei watch that lasts up to 14 days and Xiaomi watches that last up to 40 days, noting the big price difference from the rest of the watches..
Apple is constantly evolving into the future, but the problem lies in the exaggerated prices
A very cool idea and a proactive step
