Irregular rhythm notifications has no data source

I’ve seen in other threads that data source on the Health app is for 3rd party apps and this is why there is no data source within this option in the health app.

This completely doesn’t make sense when other Heart categories have my Apple Watch set as the data source.

Im in Australia and this option has recently been enabled, my phone (2021 SE) and Apple Watch (SE) are fully up to date with iOS versions.

Irregular rhythm notifications has no data source set


yet these heart options examples among others have my watch set as the data source




I cannot find anywhere how I get the data source set as my watch, doesn’t make sense that my watch is set as the data source for multiple health app options but not for this option.


Any help appreciated.

It says at the bottom of your screenshot "kelvin's apple watch" that is your data source.

Further up it says none because this is where any 3rd pary apps that request access to the health app appear such as exterior heart monitors,fitness apps etc.

You won't get a data source in irregular rhythm notifications until you have had an alert from the watch that tells you;

If your heart rate remains above or below a chosen beats per minute (BPM) while you appear to have been inactive for a period of 10 minutes.

I have 1 entry that I received about 4 years ago and after that alert my watch was listed as a data source.
