About
Apple Watch delivers continuous monitoring through a wearable device that tracks key health metrics. It measures heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen, and sleep duration via the Vitals app, providing overnight summaries and notifications when values fall outside typical ranges. Users gain insights into daily health status to inform measured decisions.
The device supports heart health with ECG app readings, irregular rhythm alerts for atrial fibrillation, and hypertension notifications based on optical sensor data analyzed over time. Sleep tracking helps prioritize rest with schedules and history reviews, while mindfulness logging builds emotional awareness. Cycle tracking uses heart rate and temperature for precise predictions.
Fitness features include heart rate zones, training load, and cardio fitness estimates via VO2 max, encouraging sustainable activity. Safety tools like Fall Detection and Crash Detection add integrated protection. Medications logging and handwashing reminders promote consistent health practices.
