Possibility of adding ECG and taking oxygen levels

Hello Team.

We are very proud of the major work you do to ensure that we have Apple products worthy of the highest technology.


However, I have a request to make to you.


I bought an Apple Watch Series 6 for my mother.


Actually, I bought it more for the health aspect. But I realize that ECG and oxygen calculation in the blood are not available in my region.


I'm a little disappointed since I'm a fan of your brand.


It's a little disappointing to buy a product for sport and health but that some Functionality is not accessible.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8

ECG is

viewed as a medical device which mean it require official approval from the

government of a country before it's legal for apple to offer

these are

the countries which has provided with said approval so far

watchOS - Feature Availability - Apple


ECG

implies that citizens' medical data be stored by a foreign third-party company

without individual approval by the government of said country, and that is not

something all countries feel comfortable with.
