    Apple Expands Hypertension Detection to Older Apple Watch Models

    Apple will bring its new hypertension detection feature to older watch models. The feature was initially announced for the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 11. It will now also be available on the Series 9 and Ultra 2.

    Apple Watch hypertension detection

    This expansion will make the health tool accessible to millions more users. The feature is pending final FDA clearance. A global rollout is planned for later this month.

    How The Life-Saving Technology Works

    The hypertension detection system uses the watch’s optical heart sensor. It analyzes blood vessel responses over consecutive 30-day periods. The algorithm then identifies consistent signs of chronic high blood pressure.

       

    According to Reuters, the technology was trained on data from over 100,000 participants. It was later validated in clinical trials involving more than 2,000 people. This rigorous development ensures high accuracy for users.

    Apple estimates the feature will notify over one million people in its first year. Many of these individuals may have otherwise undiagnosed hypertension. This could lead to earlier medical intervention for a silent condition.

    Next Steps After a Notification

    Receiving a notification does not constitute a medical diagnosis. Apple clearly states this in its guidance. The alert is a prompt to take further action.

    Users are advised to monitor their blood pressure for seven days. They should use a validated, third-party blood pressure cuff. These results must then be shared with a healthcare provider for formal evaluation.

    This process follows American Heart Association guidelines. It ensures users get a confirmed diagnosis from a medical professional. The watch acts as an early warning system, not a replacement for a doctor.

    Global Rollout and Availability

    The watchOS 26 update enabling this feature arrives on September 15. The new Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 begin shipping on September 19. The hypertension detection will be available in over 150 countries.

    This update represents a significant step in consumer health technology. It empowers users with critical health insights directly from their wrist. The broader availability on recent models maximizes its potential impact.

    This expansion makes advanced health monitoring more accessible. The Apple Watch hypertension detection feature could prompt crucial health conversations worldwide. It turns a popular wearable into a powerful preventive health tool.

    Info at your fingertips

    Which Apple Watch models support hypertension detection?

    The feature will work on Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, Series 11, and Ultra 3. It requires the watchOS 26 update, which is coming soon. Older models like the Series 8 or earlier will not receive this capability.

    Does the Apple Watch diagnose high blood pressure?

    No, it does not provide a diagnosis. The watch alerts you to signs of consistent hypertension. You must confirm any condition with a doctor using a traditional blood pressure cuff.

    When will the feature be available to use?

    The update is expected shortly after FDA clearance is finalized. Apple is targeting a release with watchOS 26 on September 15. The rollout will be widespread this month.

    Why is detecting hypertension so important?

    Hypertension is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. It often has no obvious symptoms, so many people are unaware they have it. Early detection is key to managing the condition effectively.

    How accurate is the Apple Watch’s detection?

    The algorithm was developed using data from over 100,000 participants. It was then clinically validated in separate trials. Apple states the technology is highly reliable for spotting trends.
