"Apple's new hypertension notifications - announced Tuesday alongside the new Apple Watch SE3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 - use data from the watches' existing optical heart sensor to "analyze how a user's blood vessels respond to the beats of the heart." An algorithm will review this data over a 30 day period and notify users if it detects signs of high blood pressure."
"Starting next week, Apple's new hypertension notification feature will come to Watch Series 9 and later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later with the launch of watchOS 26."
"It will roll out in more than 150 countries and regions with the arrival of watchOS 26 on September 15th."
Starting September 15 with the release of watchOS 26, hypertension notifications will arrive on Apple Watch Series 9 and later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later. The feature leverages the watches' existing optical heart sensor to analyze how a user's blood vessels respond to the beats of the heart. An algorithm reviews this sensor data over a 30-day period and notifies users if it detects signs consistent with high blood pressure. The capability will roll out across more than 150 countries and regions and accompanies recent new Apple Watch model releases as an expansion of on-device health monitoring.
