Apple's ECG App & Irregular Rhythm Notifications: What They Can & Can't Do
Apple's ECG app and irregular rhythm notifications on Apple Watch Series 1 and later have been making headlines worldwide. However, users should be aware that these features do not detect heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, or other heart-related conditions.
The ECG app is exclusive to Apple Watch Series 4 and later, while the irregular rhythm notification feature is available on Series 1 and later models. Both features require an iPhone 5s or later running iOS 12.2 or later.
Regional availability is subject to local regulatory approval. Although the service is offered in several countries outside the USA, including Germany, the exact list of supported countries is not specified. Users should check their local regulations to ensure these features are available in their region.
While Apple's ECG app and irregular rhythm notifications can provide useful insights into heart health, they should not be relied upon to detect serious heart conditions. Users are advised to consult healthcare professionals for any concerns about their heart health.
