Watch Apple should have is measuring blood pressure?

Hi Ulisses

This is a user-based community.

If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding blood pressure monitoring as a feature of Apple Watch, you can do so here:

This is a user to user forum. We are users just like yourself.

All people who do physical activity or do not need this important function.
It has no sense a watch that takes care or that has the function to help health
without this important mechanism .

Mr. Cook has indicated publicly that Apple isn't interested in making the Apple Watch more of a medical device. Apparently, they are not interested in having to get FDA approval for anything.

Measurement of cardiac measurement is more important to the time of registration or
or even silly messages between people who have Apple Watch .

Other people may find messages to their loved ones more important than measuring their blood pressure. Different people have different needs. I certainly am not going to declaim that my ideas for what should be included in an Apple Watch are more important and less silly than other peoples.

This is reportedly incorrect:

Tim Cook: " We don’t want to put the watch through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) process. I wouldn’t mind putting something adjacent to the watch through it "

Apple reads all feedback carefully 🙂

As we were discussing the Apple Watch, "on the watch" was implied at the end of that sentence. Thank you for bringing to my attention that I shouldn't make such assumptions about people's reading.

You're welcome! 🙂

(Unfortunately, "anything" otherwise seems to more clearly imply "anything").

How would you suggest that the watch measure blood pressure? There are really only 2 ways; an implantable pressure sensor inserted into an artery (vein won't do) and the traditional inflatable cuff. Which do you want on your watch?

If there was a better way to measure blood pressure the medical community would have adopted it. If you go to a hospital or a doctor's office they will still check your blood pressure with a cuff because there is no other way to do it. What you are asking for is impossible with current technology.
