EKG for Under-22s (S6)

Hey, I had a question regarding the ECG/EKG function on the brand new Series 6 Apple Watch.

I know it says here that people under 22 may not use the ECG function.

I wanted to know if it was possible to set it up even for under 22 (legally, of course), or if it's blocked by Apple ID birthdates. I'm currently thinking of giving my cousin (who is 18) the S6 as a gift, but I was most interested in the new health functions.

Thanks in advance for any help,

MrAwesome :)

Maybe it's not but there is a reaon why the age limit is 22,generally speaking a person of 22 years old wouldn't normally expect to have a heart condition such as a-fib etc.

The same way a person under 18 years old wouldn't be expected to have a problem with their blood oxygen level so apple set the minimum age limit for the blood oxygen app to 18 years old.
