Smartwatches have transformed the way health monitoring is carried out. It has been made possible that several body functions and vital statistics could be obtained on the go, as well as provide several fitness regimens for overall wellbeing. Blood glucose monitoring and blood pressure measurements are two important features that have recently been introduced by a few brands. There are reports now that Apple may not incorporate these two features in the immediate feature.
Apple’s next major sensor to be introduced to the Apple Watch, according to insiders, will not contain blood glucose and blood pressure sensors. These two features are very important additions to smartwatches, especially for sufferers of diabetes and high blood pressure medical conditions. Although the trajectory of development of the Apple Watch, has seen a sequential increment in its capabilities and functionalities it is unclear why the two features are not in the line for inclusion in the Apple Watch ecosystem.
As per the rumors, however, there is a likelihood that body temperature measurements could be provided this year. Three models are slated for release this year and an update of the Apple Watch SE.
Despite the setbacks in expectation, the Apple Watch continues to attract fans and users alike. Several stories globally had established the importance of the Apple Watch as a health and fitness device.
