Apple has been redefining the wearables market with health-focused features. The company was the first to offer ECG on smartwatches and the first to offer health features on earbuds. Apple continues to innovate with the AFib History feature. With the new watchOS 9, the company announced the "Atrial Fibrillation History" feature for Apple Watch. Of course, most of these health-centric features that evaluate body conditions require regulatory approval. After all, these regulations will determine whether the feature provides accurate readings in order to avoid problems caused by wrong data. After all, incorrect data can put someone in danger. Anyway, the AFib is progressing slowly, but after receiving US approval, it is now available to Canadian users.
Apple is racing to get regulatory approval for watchOS 9 AFib history feature
Users in the United States and Canada will be able to use this feature as soon as watchOS 9 is released this fall. It is worth noting, however, that more countries will "bless" Apple. According to Apple, the Apple Watch ECG app and arrhythmia alerts can currently detect potential signs of atrial fibrillation. If left untreated, atrial fibrillation can be one of the leading causes of stroke. Users who want to keep track of their health will appreciate this feature.
Research has shown that the length of time people experience atrial fibrillation can affect a person's symptoms. In addition, it can affect the overall quality of life and the risk of complications. Worth noting is that previously, it was difficult for the company to track the frequency of atrial fibrillation over an extended period of time or to manage life factors that affect a person's health. According to the American Heart Association, changing life-changing factors can shorten the duration of atrial fibrillation. Apple is working to make watchOS 9 reliable enough to handle this.
Users with trail fibrillation can enable the FDA-approved AFib history function in watchOS 9. They can obtain vital information such as the estimated frequency of a heart rhythm that is exhibiting signs of atrial fibrillation. It will help users understand their physical conditions better. Users will receive weekly notifications about the frequency of atrial fibrillation on Watches running watchOS 9 and can view a detailed history in the Health app.
